Download or read book Geophysical Inversion Theory and Global Optimization Methods written by Caiyun Liu and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geophysical inversion is an ill-posed problem. Classical local search method for inversion is depend on initial guess and easy to be trapped in local optimum. The global optimization is a group of novel methods to deal with the problems mentioned above. The book introduces the geophysical inversion theory, including the classical solving approaches firstly. Then, it introduces several typical global inversion approaches including particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), and multiobjective optimization methods, as well as some examples to inverse the geophysical data, such as gravity, MT sounding, well logging, self-potential, seismic data, using these global optimization approaches.
