On the parametrization of equilibrium stress fields in the Earth

A new method for parametrizing the possible equilibrium stress fields of a laterally heterogeneous earth model is described. In this method a solution of the equilibrium equations is first found that satisfies some desirable physical property. For example, we show that the equilibrium stress field w...
