Genetic algorithm inversion for receiver functions with application to crust and uppermost mantle structure

Genetic algorithm (GA) inversion, a nonlin- ear global optimization technique, has been applied to determine crustal and uppermost mantle velocity struc- ture from teleseismic receiver functions. With a new vicinity of the receiver. The influence of the source can be largely eliminated by source equalization in which the radial component of motion is deconvolved with the vertical component to generate a receiver function (Langston,1979) which isolates conversions from P to $ generated at boundaries beneath the recording site. The receiver function waveform can be inverted in the
