Review text

In order to infer of the Earth's interior and the source parameters of earthquakes in seismology it is required the ability to make accurate computations of the seismic wavefield by numerically solving the elastic equation of motion (linear second-order PDE). Because the Earth's interior is highly heterogeneous the computational requirements are large. The authors derive a general criterion for optimally accurate numerical operators. The suggested theory can also be used to estimate the accuracy of the numerical solutions before making any computations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1029.00072].
