The viscoelastic wave equation is an integro‐differential equation that requires special methods when using time‐domain numerical finite‐difference methods. In the frequency domain, the integral terms are easily represented by complex valued elastic media properties. There are further significant advantages to using the frequency domain if the forward or the inverse problem requires modeling or inverting a large number of prestack source gathers. Numerical modeling is expensive for seismic data because of the large number of wavelenghths typically separating sources from receivers, which results in a need for a large number of grid points. A major obstacle to using frequency‐domain methods is the consequent storage requirements. To reduce these, we maximize the accuracy and simultaneously minimize the spatial extent of the numerical operators. We achieve this by extending earlier published methods introduced for the viscoacoustic case to the viscoelastic case. This requires the formulation of two new nume...
