simpeg.regularization.Sparse.length_scale_x#

property Sparse.length_scale_x#

Multiplier constant for smoothness along x relative to base scale length.

Where the \(\Delta h\) defines the base length scale (i.e. minimum cell dimension), and \(\alpha_x\) defines the multiplier constant for first-order smoothness along x, the length-scale is given by:

\[L_x = \bigg ( \frac{\alpha_x}{\Delta h} \bigg )^{1/2}\]
Returns:
float

Multiplier constant for smoothness along x relative to base scale length.
