A seismic waveform inversion for prestack seismic data based on the Gauss-Newton method is presented. The Gauss-Newton method for seismic waveform inversion was proposed in the 80s but has rarely been studied. Extensive computational and memory requirements have been principal difficulties. To overcome this, we used different sizes of grids in the inversion stage from those of grids in the wave propagation simulation, temporal windowing of the simulation and approximation of virtual sources for calculating partial derivatives, and implemented this algorithm on parallel supercomputers. We show that the Gauss-Newton method has high resolving power and convergence rate, and demonstrate potential applications to real seismic data.

Inverse radiation problems are solved for estimating the boundary conditions such as temperature distribution and wall emissivity in axisymmetric absorbing, emitting and scattering medium, given the measured incident radiative heat fluxes. Various regularization methods, such as hybrid genetic algorithm, conjugate-gradient method and Newton method, were adopted to solve the inverse problem, while discussing their features in terms of estimation accuracy and computational efficiency. Additionally, we propose a new combined approach of adopting the genetic algorithm as an initial value selector, whereas using the conjugate-gradient method and Newton method to reduce their dependence on the initial value.

Inverse radiation problems are solved for estimating the boundary conditions such as temperature distribution and wall emissivity in axisymmetric absorbing, emitting and scattering medium, given the measured incident radiative heat fluxes. Various regularization methods, such as hybrid genetic algorithm, conjugate-gradient method and finite-difference Newton method, were adopted to solve the inverse problem, while discussing their features in terms of estimation accuracy and computational efficiency. Additionally, we propose a new combined approach that adopts the hybrid genetic algorithm as an initial value selector and uses the finite-difference Newton method as an optimization procedure.
