Unified matrix-vector wave equation, reciprocity and representations

The matrix-vector wave equation is a compact first-order differential equation. It was originally used for the analysis of elastodynamic plane waves in laterally invariant media. It has been extended by various authors for laterally varying media. Other authors derived a similar formalism for other wave phenomena. This paper starts with a...

Comparison of Eigenvectors for Coupled Seismo-Electromagnetic Layered-Earth Modeling

We study the accuracy and numerical stability of three eigenvector sets for modelling the coupled poroelastic and electromagnetic layered-Earth response. We use a known eigenvector set, its flux-normalized version and a newly derived flux-normalized set. The new set is chosen such that the system is properly uncoupled when the coupling between...
