Constrained Adaptive Weighted Particle Swarm Optimization (C-AWPSO) Algorithm for Dipping Fault Parameter Inversion by Shiquan Su, Juntao Liang, Chuang Xu, Feiyu Zhang, Hangtao Yu

“…The research findings are as follows: (1) The linearly decreasing inertia weight strategy performs best in terms of convergence efficiency and global search capability; (2) among the fault parameters, the top-layer center depth <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>z</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and bottom-layer center depth <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>w</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> show higher sensitivity, and the inversion results for these parameters are more stable, which is beneficial for determining the depth information of faults; (3) introducing L2 regularization and penalty terms as constraints significantly improves the inversion stability, and among these, <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>z</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>w</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> have a particularly notable impact on the error.…”
