Model-space preconditioning

The technique is based on a post-multiplication of the matrix $\bold L$ by the diagonal matrix ${\bf C^{-1}}$.

The preconditioning operator introduces a new model $\bold x$ given by
\begin{displaymath}
\bold x = \bold C \bold m
\EQNLABEL{mod-prec}\end{displaymath} (62)
By the preconditioning transformation, we have recast the original inversion relation equ1 into
\begin{displaymath}
\bold d = \bold L \bold C^{-1} \bold x.
\EQNLABEL{prec}\end{displaymath} (63)

After solving for $\bold x$ we easily compute $\bold m = \bold C^{-1} \bold x$.
