Summary

I have outlined the importance of symmetrizing Green's function kernels of elastic wave propagation operators. I have shown an example of a non-reciprocal, but very accurate modeling operator. Symmetrizing the kernel achieved total reciprocity, however, for a spatially bandlimited source, it also required a spatial bandlimiting of the receivers. Numerical methods should always be developed such that they are accurate but still inherently reciprocal.
