Abstract

For completeness of the theory proposed by Oni (1972), the inversion problem is examined. It is shown that parameters which constrain distinct solutions of the inverse problem can be determined in the application of the theory. The fundamental basis of the inversion and the strategy to be adopted are discussed.
