General Statement of The Problem
The objective of an inverse problem is to find the best model such that (at least approximately)
where is an operator describing the explicit relationship between the observed data, and the model parameters. In various contexts, the operator is called forward operator, observation operator, or observation function. In the most general context, G represents the governing equations that relate the model parameters to the observed data (i.e. the governing physics).
