A multigrid-based iterative solver for the frequency-domain elastic wave equation

Efficient numerical wave modelling is essential for imaging methods such as reverse-time migration (RTM) and full waveform inversion (FWI). In 2D, frequency-domain modelling with LU factorization as a direct solver can outperform time-domain methods by one order. For 3-D problems, the computational complexity of the LU factorization as well as...
