TRAVEL TIME TOMOGRAPHY

  • Published : 2001.07.01

Abstract

We survey recent results on the inverse kinematic problem arising in geophysics. The question is whether one can determine the sound speed (index of refraction) of a medium by measuring the travel times of the corresponding ray paths. We emphasize the anisotrpic case.
