[CIG-SHORT] reference books about PyLith

[Brad Aagaard]

Qian Gao:

The PyLith manual section on the fault interface conditions does not 
contain all of the details of the method. If you have specific 
questions, then feel free to ask. Most of the mathematics covered in 
sections 6.4.4.1 and 6.4.5.1 can be derived directly from the governing 
equations (equations 6.20 or 6.43) with some algrabra and are not 
covered in any books or papers that I am aware of. If you would like 
more detail about the Lagrange multiplier approach for specifying 
constraints, then I suggest reviewing the relevant sections of a 
Calculus text.

Regards,
Brad
