Marchenko without up/down decomposition on the Marmousi model and retrieval of the refracted waves: Are they caused by the Marchenko algorithm?

Marchenko algorithms retrieve the Green’s function for arbitrary subsurface locations, and the retrieved Green’s function includes the primary and multiple reflected waves. The Marchenko algorithms require the estimate of the direct arrivals and the reflected waves; however, most previous Marchenko algorithms also require the up/down components...

Focusing waves in an unknown medium without wavefield decomposition

The Gel'fand-Levitan equation, the Gopinath-Sondhi equation, and the Marchenko equation are developed for one-dimensional inverse scattering problems. Recently, a version of the Marchenko equation based on wavefield decomposition has been introduced for focusing waves in multi dimensions. However, wavefield decomposition is a limitation when...
