CrossReferenceRegularization.f_m(m)[source]#

Evaluate the regularization kernel function.

For cross reference regularization, the regularization kernel function is given by:

$${\mathbf{f}}_{\mathbf{m}}(\mathbf{m})=\mathbf{X}\mathbf{m}$$

where $\mathbf{m}$ are the discrete model parameters and $\mathbf{X}$ carries out the cross-product with a reference vector model. For a more detailed description, see the Notes section below.

Parameters:

mnumpy.ndarray

The vector model.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

The regularization kernel function evaluated for the model provided.

Notes

The objective function for cross reference regularization is given by:

$${\varphi }_m(\mathbf{m})=\Vert \mathbf{W}\mathbf{X}\mathbf{m}{\Vert }^2$$

where $\mathbf{m}$ are the discrete vector model parameters defined on the mesh (model), $\mathbf{X}$ carries out the cross-product with a reference vector model, and $\mathbf{W}$ is the weighting matrix. See the CrossReferenceRegularization class documentation for more detail.

We define the regularization kernel function ${\mathbf{f}}_{\mathbf{m}}$ as:

$${\mathbf{f}}_{\mathbf{m}}(\mathbf{m})=\mathbf{X}\mathbf{m}$$

such that

$${\varphi }_m(\mathbf{m})=\Vert \mathbf{W}{\mathbf{f}}_{\mathbf{m}}{\Vert }^2$$
