Nonlinear Conjugate Gradients Algorithm For 2-D Magnetotelluric Inversion

We investigate a new algorithm for computing regularized solutions of the two-dimensional magnetotelluric inverse problem. The algorithm employs a nonlinear conjugate gradients (NLCG) scheme to minimize an objective function that penalizes data residuals and second spatial derivatives of resistivit...
