The paper derives the expression for the velocity of surface waves on the boundary of an elastic half-space (Rayleigh waves) through the velocities of volume elastic waves. It presents the generalized D. Nkemzi and P.G. Malischewsky’s formulas, proposes the solution to the equation expressed through trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and considers some approximate formulas.
