摘要：

Seismic traveltime tomography is a nonlinear inverse problem wherein an unknown slowness model is inferred from the observed arrival times of seismic waves. The tomographic inverse problem can be solved after linearizing the traveltime expression about a known slowness model. The required relation can be rigorously derived via ray-perturbation theory. The paper presents a straightforward derivation of the same result by linearizing the eikonal equation for traveltimes.
