piecewise homogeneous polarized medium

Consideration of induced polarization effects in solving inverse problems of geoelectrical sounding

The paper aims to develop an algorithm for identifying the physical (polarizability and resistivity) and geometric (center of mass, orientation, and dimensions) characteristics of local heterogeneities. This is achieved by analyzing induced polarization (IP) potential field data measured at the boundary of the object, using the indirect near-boundary element method. Methodology. A piecewise homogeneous half-plane was chosen as a model of the Earth's crust, where the components are in non-ideal contact.
