Abstract
In this paper, the mathematical algorithm elaborated by González, Getino and Farto (1998) is applied to four different non‐rigid Earth models, in order to obtain the analytical expressions of the corresponding free frequencies. The solutions are studied, and the contributions of the different considered effects are evaluated. A numerical integration is also carried out, showing the validity of the obtained analytical solutions.
