Abstract: Implementation of the standard full waveform inversion (FWI) poses difficulties as the initial model offsets from the true model. The wavefield reconstruction inversion (WRI) was proposed to mitigate these difficulties by relaxing the wave-equation constraint. In this abstract, working on the nonlinear term in the Hessian matrix of FWI, we develop a new approximate Hessian as an Augmented Gauss-Newton (AGN) Hessian including second-order derivative information. Moreover, we establish an intimate connection between an updating formula which results from approximate solve of the Newton's method with the AGN Hessian on the FWI problem and the WRI method. Our analysis opens new perspectives for developing efficient algorithms for FWI based on the Newton's method and highlights the importance of the nonlinear term in the Hessian matrix, which is ignored in most cases.
