Abstract
Polyethylene crystal is described in terms of a continuum with interna l degrees of freedom. The motion equations are derived from ''first pr inciples'' i.e. from the molecular potentials of interaction. The asym ptotic decomposition of appropriate motion equations is provided, the main asymptotic boundary problems are formulated, the vibration spectr a and the elastic moduli of the crystal are prescribed.
