A PRACTICAL SIMULATED ANNEALING AUTOMATIC STATICS METHOD

In this paper, the three key problems in simulated annealing automatic statics are solved successively; this will enable the method to be us ed more widely in practice. The determination of T-min includes obtain ing the equation for calculating T-c in theory and giving a scheme for choosing T-min in practice. The change of temperature for each shot o r receiver is different and it depends on the change of local energy. Finally, the simple, convenient convergence criteria are necessary for deciding automatically whether or not the computation should be stopp ed. The method is applied to practical data. The primary results have shown the advantage and efficiency of the method.
