An operator P was assigned to the convolution integral operator which was later expressed in terms of the superposition operator and the nonlinear operator. Given a ball B<sub>r</sub> belonging to the space L it was established that the operator P maps the ball into itself. The Hausdorff measure of noncompactness was then applied by first proving that given a set M∈ B r the set is bounded, closed, convex and nondecreasing. Finally, the Darbo fixed point theorem was applied on the measure obtained from the set E belonging to M. From this application, it was observed that the conditions for the Darbo fixed point theorem was satisfied. This indicated the presence of at least a fixed point for the integral equation which thereby implying the existence of solutions for the integral equation.展开更多

Therefore, a restarted GMRES method is applied to solve large-scale boundary-volume scattering problems in this paper to overcome the computational barrier. The iterative method is firstly applied to responses of dimensionless frequency to a semicircular alluvial valley filled with sediments, compared with the standard Gaussian elimination method. Then the method is tested by a heterogeneous multilayered model to show its applicability. Numerical experiments indicate that the preconditioned GMRES method can significantly improve computational efficiency especially for large Earth models and high frequencies, but with a faster convergence for the left diagonal preconditioning.展开更多
