Figure 1: Modeling with a sphere: mapping of the decimal logarithm of the cost function when the number of iterations are limited to 100,000. The initial values of the mass and the z coordinate of the center are taken constant.

Figure 2: Bottom limits of the seven juxtaposed prisms. Solid curve: synthetic model; dotted curve: result of the inversion.

Figure 3: Gravity field anomaly produced by the seven juxtaposed prisms.
