Abstract
The asymptotic behavior of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with variable velocity and localized initial conditions on the line, semi-axis, and an infinite starlike graph is described. The solution consists of a short-wave and long-wave parts; the shortwave part moves along the characteristics, while the long-wave part satisfies the Goursat or Darboux problem. In the case of a star-like graph, the distribution of energy with respect to the edges is discussed; this distribution depends on the arrangement of the eigensubspaces of the unitary matrix that defines the boundary condition at the vertex of the star.
