seismic inversion is a method that extracts acoustic impedance data from the seismic traces. sourcewavelets are band-limited, and thus seismic traces do not contain low and high frequency information.therefore, there is a serious problem when the deterministic seismic inversion is applied to real dataand the result of deterministic inversion is smooth. low frequency component is obtained from w...

Valley degeneracy is a key feature of the electronic structure that benefits thermoelectric performance material. Despite recent studies which claim high valley can be achieved...

Often exploration seismic data lacks low and high frequency band signals. The low frequency information provides crucial information about the mean model. Thus, estimation of absolute models using inversion schemes is difficult in case of band limited seismic data. We present a new method to synthesize initial model for inversion of seismic data using autoregressive and moving average modeling....

Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we explore the feasibility of converting ternary half-Heusler compounds into a new class of three-dimensional topological insulators (3DTI). We demonstrate that the electronic structure of unstrained LaPtBi as a prototype system exhibits a distinct band-inversion feature. The 3DTI phase is realized by applying a uniaxial stra...

Block-banded matrices generalize banded matrices. We study the properties of positive definite full matrices whose inverses are -block-banded. We show that, for such matrices, the blocks in the -block band of completely determine ; namely, all blocks of outside its -block band are computed from the blocks in the -block band of . We derive fast inversion algorithms for and its inverse that, when...
