A full-space optimization would require the storage of field variables for every frequency or time sample (and every source). Remedies via variable projection are well studied, but they entail the solution of a modified wave equation, which is costly both in frequency and time domain. Here, we explore an efficient alternative to WRI, where properties are complemented, instead, by elements of the dual data space. The starting point of our proposal is the denoising reformulation of WRI: the PDE compliance is optimized under the constraint of a given data fit. Since the field variable can be eliminated from the associated saddle-point problem, we obtain a new objective functional of only properties and Lagrange multipliers. Its evaluation, and gradient computation, involves the solution of the original wave equation, which is amenable to time-domain discretization. The optimization scheme of choice can now leverage on affordable storage of the iterates.}, keywords = {WRI}, presentation = {https://slim.gatech.edu/Publications/Public/Conferences/SIAMGS/2019/rizzuti2019SIAMGStwri/rizzuti2019SIAMGStwri.pdf}, author = {Gabrio Rizzuti and Mathias Louboutin and Rongrong Wang and Emmanouil Daskalakis and Felix J.
