    Studies on the Marchenko–Pastur Law

    In free probability, the theory of Cauchy–Stieltjes Kernel (CSK) families has recently been introduced. This theory is about a set of probability measures defined using the Cauchy kernel similarly to natural exponential families in classical probability that are defined by means of the exponential kernel. Within the context of CSK families, this article presents certain features of the Marchenko–Pastur law based on the Fermi convolution and the t-deformed free convolution. The Marchenko–Pastur law holds significant theoretical and practical implications in various fields, particularly in the analysis of random matrices and their applications in statistics, signal processing, and machine learning. In the specific context of CSK families, our study of the Marchenko–Pastur law is summarized as follows: Let K+(μ)={Qmμ(dx);m∈(m0μ,m+μ)} be the CSK family generated by a non-degenerate probability measure μ with support bounded from above. Denote by Qmμ•s the Fermi convolution power of order s>0 of the measure Qmμ. We prove that if Qmμ•s∈K+(μ), then μ is of the Marchenko–Pastur type law. The same result is obtained if we replace the Fermi convolution • with the t-deformed free convolution t

    Redatuming and Quantifying Attenuation from Reflection Data Using the Marchenko Equation: A Novel Approach to Quantify Q-factor and Seismic Upscaling

    Marchenko Imaging is a new technology in geophysics which enables to retrieve Green's functions at any point in the subsurface having only reflection data. This method is based on the extension of the 1D Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko equation to a 3D medium. One of the assumptions of the Marchenko method is that the medium is lossless. If the lossy reflection response is used in the Marchenko scheme, some artefacts in the Green's functions as well as in the seismic image are present. One way to circumvent this assumption is to find a compensation parameter for the lossy reflection series so that the lossless Marchenko scheme can be applied. The main tasks of this thesis are to: [1] use the Marchenko equation to estimate the attenuation in the subsurface, [2] find a compensation parameter for the lossy reflection series so that the lossless Marchenko scheme can be applied, and [3] to create an upscaling method for wave propagation. The Artefact Removal Method was created which makes it possible to calculate an effective temporal Q-factor of the medium between a virtual source in the subsurface and receivers at the surface. This method is based on the minimization of the artefacts produced by the lossless Marchenko scheme. The minimization was performed in three ways: [1] in the space-time domain, [2] in the frequency domain and [3] to the scales of the wavelet transform applied to the artefacts. This method can also be used to find the layers with high attenuation. The upscaling method which can be used to construct macro-scale homogenized viscoelastic properties of the medium from the micro-scale properties of a heterogeneous medium was developed. This is done through linking the macro- and micro- scale Lippmann-Schwinger equations which describe the wave field and the strain field scattering in an inhomogeneous medium, respectively. In this thesis, the macro-scale homogenized viscoelastic properties were calculated by using the T-matrix Approach and the Generalized Dvorkin-Mavko Attenuation Model. All theoretical results are supported by synthetic 1D modeling. The theoretical part of the thesis and the general work flow can be used for a very complex medium

    Inverse scattering designs of dispersion-engineered single-mode planar waveguides

    No full text
    We use an inverse-scattering (IS) approach to design single-mode waveguides with controlled linear and higher-order dispersion. The technique is based on a numerical solution to the Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko integral equation, for the inversion of rational reflection coefficients with arbitrarily large number of leaky poles. We show that common features of dispersion-engineered waveguides such as trenches, rings and oscillations in the refractive index profile come naturally from the IS algorithm without any a priori assumptions. Increasing the leaky-pole number increases the dispersion map granularity and allows design of waveguides with identical low order and differing higher order dispersion coefficients

    On Green’s functions, propagator matrices, focusing functions and their mutual relations

    No full text
    Green’s functions and propagator matrices are both solutions of the wave equation, but whereas Green’s functions obey a causality condition in time (G = 0 for t < 0), propagator matrices obey a boundary condition in space. Marchenko-type focusing functions focus a wave field in space at zero time. We discuss the mutual relations between Green’s functions, propagator matrices and focusing functions, avoiding up-down decomposition and accounting for propagating and evanescent waves. We conclude with discussing a Marchenko-type Green’s function representation, which forms a basis for extending the Marchenko method to improve the imaging of steeply dipping flanks and to account for refracted waves.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Applied Geophysics and Petrophysic

    A note on Marchenko-linearised full waveform inversion for imaging

    No full text
    Full waveform inversion and least-squares reverse time migration are the leading technologies for imaging with seismic waves. Both of them usually rely (in one way or another) on a single-scattering approximation, i.e. the Born approximation, to compute gradients and obtain an updated model. This approximation linearises the relation between modelled data and model by ignoring multiple scattering. We propose to use the Marchenko integral, an equation originating from inverse scattering theory, to obtain an alternative linear equation. Using the Marchenko method we can retrieve Green's functions, including all orders of scattering, for virtual sources anywhere within the volume of interest - without prior knowledge of the high-wavelength model variations that induce scattering. Plugging these estimated Green's functions into the Lippmann-Schwinger integral delivers a Marchenko-linearised relation between the full waveform data and the model. We present this new linearisation strategy and illustrate its advantages and disadvantages by comparing numerical results for different inversion kernels. Our new linearisation is exact, i.e. it does not exclude any orders of scattering, however, it relies on the quality of the Marchenko-derived Green's functions. These Marchenko-based Green's functions require an estimate of the first arrivals of the Green's functions - commonly obtained by modelling in a background medium. Although these first arrival estimates strongly bias our results for inaccurate background models, we find the Marchenko-linearisation to deliver overall slightly better inverted models than the single-scattering approximation

    We prove local and global versions of Borg–Marchenko-type uniqueness theorems for half-lattice and full-lattice CMV operators (CMV for Cantero, Moral, and Velázquez [15]). While our half-lattice results are formulated in terms of Weyl–Titchmarsh functions, our full-lattice results involve the diagonal and main off-diagonal Green’s functions

    The Marchenko-Ostrovski mapping and the trace formula for the Camassa-Holm equation

    No full text
    We consider the periodic weighted operator Ty---- _p-2(p2y,), q_ p-4 in L2(l,p2dx) where p is a 1-periodic positive function satisfying q -- p/p C L2(0, 1). The spec- trum of T consists of intervals separated by gaps. In the first part of the paper we construct the Marchenko-Ostrovski mapping q --> h(q) and solve the corresponding inverse problem. For our approach it is essential that the mapping h has the factoriza- tion h(q) = h(V(q)), where q --> V(q) is a certain nonlinear mapping and V --> h(V) is the Marchenko-Ostrovski mapping for the Hill operator. In the second part of this paper we derive the trace formula for T in the case q C L2(0, 1)
