Supplementary Figure 11: Resolution matrix for the real part of degree 2 order 1
Illustration of the real part of the degree 2 order 1 componenent of the resolution matrix. The model coefficients are ordered such that the S velocity is at the far left corner, P velocity is in the middle, and density is at the front right corner. In each part, there are contributions from 14 radial basis functions, which are in increasing order from the back to the front. Because the damping used in the inversion does not depend upon the angular order, other degree 2 components have resolution matrices that are virtually identical to the one plotted here. Ideally, the resolution matrix should be the unit matrix. We see that off-diagonal terms are relatively small, and that higher-order Chebyshev polynomials are not well resolved due to strong damping.
