Let's define u0 as the primary wavefield and u1
the surface-related, first-order multiple wavefield recorded at the surface.
If the earth varies only as a function of depth, then u will not
depend on both s and g, but only on the offset, h=g-s.
In this one-dimensional case, equation (10) becomes

(11) |
| (12) |
where h'=g'-s.
Equation (12) clearly represents a convolution, so can
be computed by multiplication in the Fourier domain such that
where Ui(kh) is the Fourier transform of ui(h) defined by

Equation (13) can be extended to deal with a
smoothly varying earth by considering common shot-gathers (or common
midpoint gathers) independently, and assuming the earth is locally
one-dimensional in the vicinity of the shot e.g., Rickett and Guitton (2000):

U1(kh,s) = U0(kh,s)2.
