Some remarks concerning residuals and derivatives

  • Published:
pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

An analysis of the existing second derivative systems has been attempted and the superiority ofPeters' method overElkins' is brought out. Some properties of vertical derivatives have been discussed and it is clearly proved that the derivative values are independent of the regional. Finally, the weak and strong points of grid and least square methods have been assessed. Some interesting applications of the least square methods are also described.
