Abstract

An algorithm for calculating the second term of the ray series for the vector of longitudinal displacements in an inhomogeneous isotropic elastic medium in the quasi-two-dimensional case is suggested. This algorithm is based on expanding the medium parameters, the eikonal, and the displacement vector into series in powers of the coordinates transversal to the ray.
