Does it mean that when dealing with anisotropic media of more complex symmetry type (Arbitrarily tilted TI orthorhombic monoclinic or even triclinic) all these algorithms are useless? In fact not at all. Rasolofosaon (2000b) recently demonstrated that in 2D geometry any TI kinematic algorithm can be generalized to the case of monoclinic media using the
