in this paper the 3d inversion of gravity data using two different regularization methods, namely tikhonov regularization and truncated singular value decomposition (tsvd), is considered. the earth under the survey area is modeled using a large number of rectangular prisms, in which the size of the prisms are kept fixed during the inversion and the values of densities of the prisms are the mode...
