Abstract

A

Mallick and Roy solved the problem of determining the apparent resistivity function for a three‐layer stratification in which the central layer is a transition layer with linear change of the conductivity with depth. In the present paper the problem is solved for a transition layer with linear change of the resistivity with depth, a type of change that seems to be more common in nature than the type considered by Mallick and Roy. The solution is extended to layer stratifications involving an arbitrary number of transition layers and of homogeneous layers. The solution is given in the form of a modification of the recurrence relation that was derived by Pekeris for homogeneous layers.
