As shown in Figure 5, this wavefield in the t-x domain
can be expressed by

After Fourier transform along the time axis, we get the expression in the
f-x domain:

It is easy to show that one trace can be predicted from an adjacent trace:
| |
(7) |
Or in another form,
| |
(8) |
This means that, each trace can be predicted with the propagator
. Up to now, we have not mentioned FIG
and FDG. Therefore, all above conclusions are effective for both cases.
But when we introduce the details of the two schemes, we will reach different
conclusions:
- Frequency-independent grids
is constant. The propagator P1 is the function
of frequency f. It will change from one frequency slice to
another.
- Frequency-dependent grids
From (3), we can choose
| |
(9) |
Therefore, the propagator P1 becomes
| |
(10) |
So the propagator P1 is frequency-invariant.
