README for IFOS3D
=================

IFOS3D (Inversion of Full observed seismograms) 
is a 3D elastic full waveform inversion code. The inversion problem is solved 
by a conjugate gradient method. The gradients are computed in the frequency domain 
for discrete frequencies with the adjoint method. The forward modeling is done 
in the time domain with a finite difference code on a standard staggered grid.


Installation instructions can be found in the file INSTALL.


A detailed documentation is provided in manual_IFOS3D.pdf.


To get started with this code try to run the toy example that is described 
in the documentation (manual_IFOS3D.pdf).


If you use this code for your own research please cite at least one article
written by the developers of the package, e.g.

scale heterogeneities in transmission geometry, Geophysical Prospecting, 61(6), 1238-1251.
