The transient electromagnetic inversion based on the simplex-simulated annealing algorithm

In order to avoid the linear inversion method falling into local minima and slow convergence speed of the global optimization inversion method, the article proposed the simplex-simulated annealing algorithm for transient electromagnetic inversion research which combines advantages of the simplex method and the simulated annealing algorithm. The simplex method is used to obtain local minimum value which is relatively close to the actual value, then the simulated annealing algorithm is used to obtain the global optimal solution which can better reflect structural characteristics of the real stratigraphic model. Through the comparison of the noise inversion results and noise free inversion results about K-type, H-type, KH-type and HKH-type stratigraphic models, it can be proved that the simplex-simulated annealing algorithm can suppress some noise. The comparison of the simulated annealing method and the simplex-simulated annealing algorithm shows that the simplex-simulated annealing algorithm has the characteristics of global searching ability and fast convergence speed.
