Mixed Problem for a Homogeneous Wave Equation with a Nonzero Initial Velocity

Abstract

A mixed problem for a homogeneous wave equation with fixed ends, a summable potential, and a nonzero initial velocity is studied. Using the resolvent approach and developing the Krylov method for accelerating the convergence of Fourier series, a classical solution is obtained by the Fourier method under minimal conditions on the smoothness of the initial data and a generalized solution in the case of the initial velocity represented by an arbitrary summable function is found.
