The method of functional representations in the solution of inverse problems of gravimetry

Abstract

The paper describes the method for solving the inverse problems of gravimetry based on the functional representations, which follow from the variational principles in the uniform metrics with respect to density models of the geological medium. The functional representations are obtained for both the linear problem (which study local density distributions) and nonlinear problem (which study a system of structural models). The explicit formulas for calculating density models are derived for the particular cases based on the introduced functional representations of the obtained solutions. In the general case, the converging iterative processes providing the solution for both the density distribution models and structural models are constructed. The relationship is established between the functional representations implementing the variational principle in the uniform metric and linear integral representations corresponding to the optimization in the quadratic norm, on one hand, and the other known density models, on the other hand.
