The following boundary value problem is studied for the equations of SH waves in a conducting porous medium: \[ \begin{aligned} \rho_{0,s}(z)u_{tt} - (\mu u_z)_z = 0,&\quad t\in R_1, \quad z > 0,\\ \sigma(z)E_t - E_{zz} + H\sigma_s(z)u_t = 0,&\quad t\in R_1,\quad z > 0,\\ u|_{t<0} = 0,&\quad z > 0,\\ E|_{t<0} = 0,&\quad z > 0,\\ \mu u_z|_{z = 0} = f(t),&\quad t\in R_1,\\ E_z|_{z = 0} = 0,&\quad t\in R_1, \end{aligned} \] where \(u(t,z)\) and \(E(t,z)\) are the horizontal components of the so-called displacement velocity vector and the electric field of the elastic conducting porous medium, \(f\) is the impulse of the probe signal, \(\rho_{0,s}\) is the partial density of the elastic conducting medium. Here \(\sigma(z) = \sigma_l(z) + \sigma_s(z)\), where \(\sigma_l(z)\) and \(\sigma_s(z)\) denote the conductivity of the porous body and the liquid. First, the authors study the question of finding the functions \(\rho_s^f(z)\), \(\sigma_l(z)\), \(\sigma_s(z)\) from the above system under the following additional conditions: \[ \begin{aligned} u|_{z=0} = u_0(t),&\quad t\in R_1,\\ E|_{z=0} = E_0(t),&\quad t\in R_1, \end{aligned} \] where \(\rho_{s}^f(z) = \rho_{0,s}(z)/\big(1 - d(z)\big)\), \(d(z)\) is the porosity. The authors look for a solution of this inverse problem as a minimum point of the goal functionals \[ \begin{aligned} \Phi_1[\rho_s^f(z)]&= \int_0^{\infty}|u_0 - B_1[\rho_s^f(z)](t)|^2 dt,\\ \Phi_2[\sigma(z)]&= \int_0^{\infty}|E_0(t) - B_2[\sigma(z)](t)|^2 dt. \end{aligned} \] Here \(B_1[\rho_s^f(z)](t)\), \(B_2[\sigma(z)](t)\) denote the operators which take \(\rho_s^f(z)\), \(\sigma(z)\) into a unique solution of the boundary value problem at the moment \(z=0\). For solving the problem, the conjugate gradient method is employed and the accompanying program in C++ provides a renewal process of the desired functions. Similar results are obtained in case the inverse problem is posed for finding the friction coefficient. The remainder of the article is devoted to studying the combined one-dimensional problem of seismic wave propagation in a conducting inhomogeneous porous medium which is also solved numerically using an optimization approach. The authors give representative series of numerical calculations.
