Abstract
The geometric configuration of a seismographic network has important consequences for the ability to determine hypocenters with high precision. The paper presents a method for optimal configuration when the network must monitor a system of faults. The optimality criterion is drawn from the statistical theory of experimental design and can be efficiently maximized using an extension of the DETMAX algorithm. The work generalizes that of Rabinowitz and Steinberg (1990), which treated the problem of optimal network configuration for monitoring a point source. -Authors
