Abstract
The description that one can have of the seismic source is the mani-
festation of an imagined model, obviously outlined from Physic Theories
and supported by mathematical methods. In that context, the modelling
of earthquake rupture consists in finding values of the parameters of the
selected physics-mathematical model, through which it becomes possible
to reproduce numerically the records of earthquake effects on the Earths
surface. We present and test a Linear Programming (LP) inversion in dual
form, for reconstructing the kinematics of the rupture of large earthquakes
through space-time seismic slip distribution on finite faults planes
