Abstract

The Trefftz method is applied to the numerical solution of the three-dimensional (3D) forward problem for an electromagnetic field harmonically oscillating with time in a 3D environment, which ensures the possibility to solve a 3D inverse problem. Here, the known idea of simultaneous joint interpretation of the tangential components of electric and magnetic fields measured on the Earth's surface, which was suggested by A.N. Tikhonov for the development of the electromagnetic sounding method, is employed in the context of the numerical-analytical representation of the forward problem solution in accordance with the Trefftz method. Application of this method allows enables one to generalize the basic plane-stratified vertically 1D model of the medium by allowing for lateral variations in electric conductivity.
