AbstractUnderstanding the evolution of dynamic properties sand subjected to induced anisotropy is indispensable for an accurate seismic analysis geostructures. In this study, several bender e...

I develop an implicit finite-difference migration method for vertical transversely isotropic (VTI) media with laterally varying anisotropy parameters. I approximate the dispersion relation of VTI media with a rational function series, the coefficients of which are estimated by least-squares optimization. These coefficients are functions of Thomsen anisotropy parameters. They are calculated and ...
