9D space – the best way to understand paleostress analysis

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to illustrate some basic facts about paleostress analysis using C-lines in9-dimensional space. In particular, two optimization parameters are proposed to validate the reliability ofnumerical solutions. The Gram determinant was used to evaluate the error of numerical outputs, and theantisymmetrical component of the C-line was used as a correctness parameter of Tσ solution.
