Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed. The method includes, for each of a plurality of spatial partial differential equations (sPDEs) within a wave equation, determining a linear system of equations using an approximate solution at a plurality of grid nodes. The linear system of equations includes an inverse matrix, a first vector, and a second vector. The method further includes, for each of the plurality of sPDEs, evaluating the inverse matrix by evaluating a first portion of the inverse matrix using a first deconvolution filter and evaluating a second portion of the inverse matrix using a second deconvolution filter. The method further still includes, for each of the plurality of sPDEs, evaluating the first vector using the evaluated inverse matrix and the second vector as well as determining the wavefield using the evaluated first vector for each of the plurality of sPDEs, a velocity model, and the wave equation.
