This method consists in minimizing the distance between the predicted and the recorded data. The predicted data are computed as the solution of a wave-propagation problem. In this study, we investigate two algorithms Gauss-Newton{\^A} and L-BFGS{\^A} for solving FWI problems. We compare these algorithms in terms of its robustness and speed of convergence. Also, we implement the Tikhonov regularization{\^A} for assisting convergence. Numerical results show that Gauss-Newton{\^A} method performs better than L-BFGS{\^A} method in terms of convergence of l2 -norm of misfit function gradient since it provides better convergence as well as the quality of high resolution constructed images. Yet, L-BFGS{\^A} outperforms Gauss-Newton{\^A} in terms of computationally efficiency and feasibility for FWI. {\^A}{\copyright} 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85123298219&doi=10.1007\%2f978-981-16-4513-6\%5f61&partnerID=40&md5=2b67ce462505cc03ba5141411c6ceeff} }
