Abstract

A new method for the calculation of theoretical seismograms, which is suitable for a wide class of inhomogeneous media, is suggested. The method is based on a combination of partial separation of variables with finite-difference techniques. Different variants of the method, based on the application of the Fourier-Bessel transform, finite integral transforms, expansions in Legendre polynomials, etc., are discussed in detail. Examples of theoretical seismograms for various simple structures are presented.
