Abstract

Although free oscillations of the Earth may be computed by many different methods, numerous practical considerations have led us to use a Rayleigh-Ritz formulation with piecewise cubic Hermite spline basis functions. By treating the resulting banded matrix equation as a generalized algebraic eigenvalue problem, we are able to achieve great accuracy and generality and a high degree of automation at a reasonable cost.
