Abstract
It is shown that, in general, Rayleigh waves in semi-infinite anisotropic media are either (i) dissipative, or (ii) not propagated at all. It is possible that non-dissipative Rayleigh waves can travel in certain discrete directions. These directions are probably the borders between the wedges in which the Rayleigh waves are dissipative and the wedges in which they do not exist.Keywords
