An Iterative Way of Solving the Inverse Scattering Problem for an Acoustic System of Equations in an Absorptive Layered Nonhomogeneous Medium

Abstract

An algorithm is considered for solving the inverse scattering problem of seismic waves in a layered medium. The algorithm is based on solving a nonclassical ordinary differential equation with respect to an acoustic impedance, which also contains an unknown function characterizing the dissipative properties of the medium. The uniqueness of determining of these functions and the functional dependence associating them is established by solving the inverse problem of ground seismics. Results are presented from a computing experiment on applying the proposed algorithm.
