Abstract
The problem of restoring the velocity of transversal waves in an elastic half-space by a known wave field on the boundary of a medium is studied. The problem is reduced to a system of “integral” equations similar to the Volterra one. Theorems on existence in the small and on uniqueness of the solution are proved. Bibliography: 5 titles.
