This directory contains a simplified matlab and fortran version of the STRATA library https://github.com/modelics/strata for the computation of the Green's function of an Half space background. It can be used for research and academic purposes. In this MATLAB/Fortran version only the half space case (two semi-infinite layers) is considered. Moreover, only the "integrate" technique is implemented and we only focus on the components of the dyadic K(A), and the scalar term K(φ), as defined in formulation-C of [2] The original C++ Strata library, instead, also implements the multi-layer version of the Green's functions and other methods (DCIM, quasistatic) and features are provided. See https://github.com/modelics/strata for more details.

The Matlab functions are not optimized. Small discrepancies between Matlab and Fortran functions can be obtained due to the numeric integrations. If you spotted some bugs, please contact us.
