The BSWI, which is constructed on the interval (0, 1) by joining piecewise B-spline polynomials between nodes together, has proved to have excellent numerical properties of multiresolution and sparsity and thus is utilized as the basis function in our WFEM. Compared to conventional basis functions, the BSWI is able to provide higher interpolating accuracy and boundary stability. Furthermore, due to the sparsity of the wavelet, the coefficient matrix obtained by BSWI-based WFEM is sparser than that formed by general FEM, which can lead to shorter solution time for the linear equations system. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of our proposed method, we ran numerical experiments on a half-space model and a layered model and compared the results with one-dimensional (1D) semi-analytic solutions and those obtained from conventional FEM. We then studied a synthetic 3D model using different meshes and BSWI basis at different scales. The results show that our method depends less on the mesh, and the accuracy can be improved by both mesh refinement and scale enhancement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13173463","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]],"date-time":"2021-09-01T11:39:03Z","timestamp":1630496343000},"page":"3463","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["3D Wavelet Finite-Element Modeling of Frequency-Domain Airborne EM Data Based on B-Spline Wavelet on the Interval Using Potentials"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lingqi","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Changchun","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Jiao","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3634-9832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunhe","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Xiuyan","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Sciences and Technology, Jilin University, Changchun 130026, China"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Earth Sciences, Guilin University of Technology, Guilin 541006, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1071\/EG09011","article-title":"Airborne electromagnetic hydrocarbon mapping in Mozambique","volume":"40","author":"Pfaffhuber","year":"2009","journal-title":"Explor.
