Furthermore, the generated models have to beintegrated into the physical context of other available observations and models inthe specific volcanic region. A reliable optimization result can only be given by amodelwithsignificantdeterminedparameterswhichcanbeseenonsmalldispersionif the optimization is carried out several times as well as considering the results ofstatistical tests about the model fit. In addition, this model has to be validatedby additional information from other observation techniques and models. Differentimprovements of the optimization have been analyzed within this thesis:• The first approach is given by the definition of physical constraints, which areimplementedintotheoptimizationapproachbypenaltyterms.
