dc.description.abstractThe complex traveltime solutions of the complex eikonal equation are the basis of inhomogeneous plane-wave seismic imaging methods, such as Gaussian beam migration and tomography. We present the analytic approximations for complex traveltime in transversely isotropic media with a titled symmetry axis (TTI), which is defined by a Taylor series expansion over the anisotropy parameters. The formulation for complex traveltime is developed using perturbation theory and the complex point source method. The real part of the complex traveltime describes the wavefront and the imaginary part of the complex traveltime describes the decay of amplitude of waves away from the central ray. We derive the linearized ordinary differential equations for the coefficients of the Taylor-series expansion 2 using perturbation theory. The analytical solutions for the complex traveltimes are determined by applying the complex point source method to the background traveltime formula and subsequently obtaining the coefficients from the linearized ordinary differential equations. We investigate the influence of the anisotropy parameters and of the initial width of the ray tube on the accuracy of the computed traveltimes. The analytical formulas, as outlined, are efficient methods for the computation of complex traveltimes from the complex eikonal equation. In addition, those formulas are also effective methods for benchmarking approximated solutions.en_US
