The customary numerical solution to the x-domain forms of the equations
in Tables .4 and .5 is arrived at by splitting.
That is, you march forward a small -step alternately
with the two extrapolators

The first equation, called the
lens equation,
is solved analytically:

(73) |
Migration that includes the lens equation
is called depth migration.
Migration that omits this term is called
time migration.
Observe that the diffraction parts
of Tables .4 and .5 are the same.
Let us use them and equation () to
define a table of diffraction equations.
Substitute for i kx and
clear from the denominators to
get Table .6.

You may wonder where the two velocities v(x,z) and came from.
The first arises in the wave equation,
and it must be x-variable if the model is x-variable.
The second arises in a mathematical transformation,
namely, equation (),
so it is purely a matter of definition.
