Geophysics algorithm updated with advanced statistical methods

Researchers have extended Occam's inversion, a geophysical algorithm, by incorporating lasso fusion and overcomplete dictionaries. This new approach aims to produce sharper models by adapting l1 regularization techniques commonly used in statistics and imaging. The study details mathematical frameworks for three solvers—coordinate descent, iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS), and split Bregman—and recommends specific solvers for 1D and 2D problems based on performance.

IMPACT This research introduces advanced statistical and imaging techniques to geophysical inversion, potentially leading to more accurate and detailed subsurface models.

    Extending Occam's inversion with lasso fusion, overcomplete dictionaries, and isotropic total variation regularisation

    arXiv:2608.14225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Occam's inversion is a robust algorithm to perform nonlinear geophysical inversion. It provides the smoothest model within observation noise, thereby discouraging geological overinterpretation. While Occam originally penalised l2 mo…
