Abstract: We consider the propagation of surface shear waves in a half-plane, whose shear modulus $mu(y)$ and density $ho(y)$ depend continuously on the depth coordinate $y$. The problem amounts to studying the parametric Sturm-Liouville equation on a half-line with frequency $omega$ and wave number $k$ as the parameters. The Neumann (traction-free) boundary condition and the requirement of decay at infinity are imposed. The condition of solvability of the boundary value problem determines the dispersion spectrum $omega(k)$ for the corresponding surface wave. We establish the criteria for non-existence of surface waves and for the existence of $N(k)$ surface wave solutions, with $N(k)oinfty$ as $koinfty$. The most intriguing result is a possibility of the existence of infinite number of solutions, $N(k)=infty$, for any given $k$. These three options are conditioned by the properties of $mu(y)$ and $ho(y)$.
