The method of reflected waves was extended to the finite vibrating string, subject to concentrated (at both its ends) and distributed (along its length) forces. To this end, the periodic odd continuation along the infinite space-time strip was implemented to all functions, influencing the above vibrations: 1) the initial, 2) the boundary (converted into the double layers) and 3) the right-hand side of the 1D non-homogeneous wave equation, resulting to a weak formulation of the IBVP, instead of the original strong one. The weak solution to the IBVP as the sum of regular and singular distributions was obtained by convolving the fundamental solution of the 1D wave operator and the above continued functions, similarly to obtaining the weak solution to the Cauchy problem for the 1D non-homogeneous wave equation. The weak solution to the IBVP was shown can be transformed (through some intermediate representations) into the well known strong one, obtained by the method of separation of variables. The opposite is also true, that is the strong solution to the IBVP can be transformed into a representation of the weak one by two successive integrations by parts, provided that the convergence of some Fourier series is interpreted in the weak sense (as distributions).

Uniform Convergence of Fourier Series for Hölder Continuous Functions and Functions of Bounded Variation.
  • Jul 5, 2024

  • Weiqiao Wang

This article discusses two significant results about the uniform convergence of Fourier series. One is the uniform convergence of the Fourier series for Hölder-α(α>0) continuous functions, while the other is the uniform convergence of the Fourier series for functions that can be expressed as the sum of finitely many continuous monotonic functions. The two results are particularly useful. Because Hölder continuity condition ensures a specific regularity that facilitates the analysis and provides a robust framework for proving uniform convergence and many practical functions can be decomposed into monotonic components, making the theorem broadly applicable. By providing detailed proofs and applications, this study demonstrates the significant implications of uniform convergence in both theoretical and practical contexts. Moreover, this work paves the way for future research in higher-dimensional Fourier analysis, nonperiodic functions, and adaptive Fourier techniques, underscoring the ongoing relevance and versatility of Fourier series in modern mathematics. Several well-known results emerge as corollaries of these findings, highlighting the robustness and applicability of these theorems in Fourier analysis.

The large time asymptotics of solutions of the Cauchy problem for a non-homogeneous wave equation with a periodic perturbation is found under some restrictions, imposed on the corresponding operator. We apply the obtained results to the third boundary value problem for the wave equation in a half-space.

Analysis of singularities of solutions to Protter problems for the wave equation

We study four-dimensional boundary value problems for the nonhomogeneous wave equation, which are analogues of Darboux problems on the plane. They were formulated by M.H. Protter in connection with BVPs for mixed type equations that model transonic flow phenomena. It is known that the unique generalized solution of Protter's problem may have singularity at only one point. This singularity is isolated at the vertex O of the boundary light characteristic cone and does not propagate along the cone. We present some conditions on the smooth right-hand side functions that are sufficient for existence of generalized solutions and give some a priori estimates for its singularity at O.

Application of almost‐everywhere singular distributions in chemical engineering

  • Massimiliano Giona + 1 more

Almost‐everywhere singular (AES) distributions, usually referred to as multifractal measures, provide an intermediate link between atomic distributions (distributions represented by a countable superposition of Dirac's delta terms) and smooth regular distributions. This article shows how AES distributions can be rigorously treated in connection with distributed‐parameter models and presents closed‐form expressions and/or recursive, uniformly converging approximation methods for integral transforms (Laplace and Stieltjes). In particular, exact results are obtained and discussed for linear and uniform nonlinear kinetcis and for transport schemes in the presence of continuous mixtures. The physical origin of AES distributions in real systems is also detailed.

Non-localized impulsive sources are ubiquitous in underwater acoustic applications. However, analytical expressions of their acoustic field are usually not available. In this work, far-field analytical solutions of the non-homogeneous scalar Helmholtz and wave equations are developed for a class of spatially extended impulsive sources. The derived expressions can serve as benchmarks to verify the accuracy of numerical solvers.

  • Ying-Jian Lin + 1 more

This paper, by using Hausdorff calculus theory, decomposes farther a singular continuous distribution function into a sum of a series of absolute continuous distribution functions in different levels with respect to the Hausdorff measures and a singular continuous distribution function with respect to the Hausdorff measures. Consequently, it gives a more accurate decomposition formula for the distribution functions.

  • Sima Rahimi Chermahini + 1 more

The analytical fuzzy triangular solutions for both one-dimensional homogeneous and non-homogeneous wave equations with emphasis on the type of [gH-p]-differentiability of solutions are obtained by using the fuzzy D’Alembert’s formulas. In the current article, the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the homogeneous and non-homogeneous fuzzy wave equation by considering the type of [gH-p]-differentiability of solutions are provided. In a special case, the fuzzy mathematical model of a vibrating string with a fixed end is investigated. Eventually, given to the various examples represented, the efficacy and accuracy of the method are examined.

A continuous space-time finite element method for the wave equation
  • Jan 1, 1996
  • Mathematics of Computation
  • Donald French + 1 more

We consider a finite element method for the nonhomogeneous second-order wave equation, which is formulated in terms of continuous approximation functions in both space and time, thereby giving a unified treatment of the spatial and temporal discretizations. Our analysis uses primarily energy arguments, which are quite common for spatial discretizations but not for time. We present a priori nodal (in time) superconvergence error estimates without any special time step restrictions. Our method is based on tensor-product spaces for the full discretization.

ON COMPACT 4TH ORDER FINITE-DIFFERENCE SCHEMES FOR THE WAVE EQUATION
  • Sep 10, 2021
  • Mathematical Modelling and Analysis
  • Alexander Zlotnik + 1 more

We consider compact finite-difference schemes of the 4th approximation order for an initial-boundary value problem (IBVP) for the n-dimensional nonhomogeneous wave equation, n≥ 1. Their construction is accomplished by both the classical Numerov approach and alternative technique based on averaging of the equation, together with further necessary improvements of the arising scheme for n≥ 2. The alternative technique is applicable to other types of PDEs including parabolic and time-dependent Schro¨dinger ones. The schemes are implicit and three-point in each spatial direction and time and include a scheme with a splitting operator for n≥ 2. For n = 1 and the mesh on characteristics, the 4th order scheme becomes explicit and close to an exact four-point scheme. We present a conditional stability theorem covering the cases of stability in strong and weak energy norms with respect to both initial functions and free term in the equation. Its corollary ensures the 4th order error bound in the case of smooth solutions to the IBVP. The main schemes are generalized for non-uniform rectangular meshes. We also give results of numerical experiments showing the sensitive dependence of the error orders in three norms on the weak smoothness order of the initial functions and free term and essential advantages over the 2nd approximation order schemes in the non-smooth case as well.

A new method to solve non-homogeneous wave equations of electromagnetic fields by fourier’s triple integral transform
  • Aug 1, 2017
  • IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
  • Wenjing Hu

This paper uses Fourier’s triple integral transform method to simplify the calculation of the non-homogeneous wave equations of the time-varying electromagnetic field. By adding several special definite conditions to the wave equation, it becomes a mathematical problem of definite condition. Then by using Fourier’s triple integral transform method, this three-dimension non-homogeneous partial differential wave equation is changed into an ordinary differential equation. Through the solution to this ordinary differential equation, the expression of the relationship between the time-varying scalar potential and electromagnetic wave excitation source is developed precisely. This method simplifies the solving process effectively.
