Although using standard Taylor series coefficients for finite-difference operators is optimal in the sense that in the limit of infinitesimal space and time discretization, the solution approaches the correct analytic solution to the acousto-dynamic system of differential equations, other finite-difference operators may provide optimal computational run time given certain error bounds or source bandwidth constraints. This report describes the results of investigation of alternative optimal finite-difference coefficients based on several optimization/accuracy scenarios and provides recommendations for minimizing run time while retaining error within given error bounds.
