Abstract
In a recent paper Robin has developed a method of calculating the relation between bed and surface topography of an ice sheet. He found that by including the effect of longitudinal strains in the equilibrium equation the correlation between theory and observation could be much improved. This paper is concerned with the mathematical justification of the assumption made by Robin.Keywords
