Implicit extrapolations have several advantages over
explicit methods: they have the potential for unconditional stability,
and shorter filters are required to achieve higher accuracy.
Through the helical coordinate system, I have recast the
2-D deconvolution at the heart of implicit 3-D wavefield
extrapolation, into a one-dimensional problem that can be solved
efficiently by recursion.
I have demonstrated the algorithm by migrating simple constant
velocity synthetic examples with the conventional 45paraxial wave equation.
The extension to lateral velocity variations is discussed in the next
chapter.
