“…Numerous approaches have been developed to deal with the numerical dispersion in space. One common way to reduce space dispersion is to use high-order FD schemes (Dablain, 1986;Liu and Sen, 2009), optimized FD operators (Etgen, 2007;Zhou and Zhang, 2011;Zhang and Yao, 2013;Wang et al, 2014), or the flux-corrected transport technique (Yang et al, 2002). The nearly analytical discrete methods (Yang et al, 2006(Yang et al, , 2007Ma et al, 2011) and stereo-modeling method (Tong et al, 2013), which introduce gradients of wave displacement in propagation, are proposed as well to suppress the numerical dispersion.…”
