Abstract: The pseudospectral (or Fourier) method has been used recently by several investigators for forward seismic modeling. The method is introduced here in two different ways: as a limit of finite differences of increasing orders, and by trigonometric interpolation. An argument based on spectral analysis of a model equation shows that the pseudospectral method (for the accuracies and integration times typical of forward elastic seismic modeling) may require, in each space dimension, as little as a quarter the number of grid points compared to a fourth‐order finite‐difference scheme and one‐sixteenth the number of points as a second‐order finite‐difference scheme. For the total number of points in two dimensions, these factors become 1/16 and 1/256, respectively; in three dimensions, they become 1/64 and 1/4 096, respectively. In a series of test calculations on the two‐dimensional elastic wave equation, only minor degradations are found in cases with variable coefficients and discontinuous interfaces.

3D volumetric multispectral estimates of reflector curvature and rotation
Saleh Al-Dossary,Kurt J. Marfurt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed the first volumetric spectral estimates of reflector curvature and found that the most positive and negative curvatures are the most valuable in the conventional mapping of lineations including faults, folds, and flexures.
Reverse-time migration using the Poynting vector
Kwangjin Yoon,Kurt J. Marfurt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present several tactics to avoid artefacts in shot-domain reverse-time migration, such as muting of a shot gather before migration, or wavefront migration which performs correlation only within a time window following first arriving travel times, are useful in suppressing artefacts.

Solving PDEs with radial basis functions
Bengt Fornberg,Natasha Flyer +1 more
TL;DR: During the last few years, radial basis functions, in particular in their ‘local’ RBF-FD form, have taken the major step from being mostly a curiosity approach for small-scale PDE ‘toy problems’ to becoming a major contender also for very large simulations on advanced distributed memory computer systems.

Seismic wave propagation in laterally heterogeneous anelastic media: Theory and applications to seismic zonation
TL;DR: In this article, a deterministic approach based on the assumption that several earthquakes can occur within a predefined seismic zone, represents a conservative definition of seismic hazard for preevent localized planning for disaster mitigation, over a broad range of periods.
