Abstract: An amplitude preserving method and system based on symmetry of generalized Hamilton operators are provided. This method involves determining the dimensions of a decomposition equation based on up-going and down-going one-way wave equations. Additionally, an amplitude preserving form and boundary conditions are established for both up-going and down-going wave equations with varying dimensions. The traditional one-way wave processing procedure is then adjusted by a modified source function and initial boundary conditions until a one-way wave field recursive equation with an amplitude preserving condition is satisfied. Finally, a modified one-way wave program is used to obtain an amplitude preserving wave field, which is then compared to the results of a finite difference wave field or an analytical solution wave field for verification.
