Abstract
A selection of a number of geophysical methods to solve different geological, geodynamical, environmental, archaeological and other problems usually has no theoretical substantiation. The solution to this “four color” mathematical problem is able to assume that two independent geophysical methods are sufficient theoretically to characterize the geological-geophysical peculiarities of the area under study.
