Convexification for the 3D Problem of Travel Time Tomography

Abstract

The travel time tomography problem is a coefficient inverse problem for the eikonal equation. This problem has well known applications in seismic. The eikonal equation is considered here in the circular cylinder, where point sources run along its axis and measurements of travel times are conductes on the whole surface of this cylinder. A new version of the globally convergent convexification numerical method for this problem is developed. Results of numerical studies are presented.
