The continuity properties of the solutions of the wave equation at different boundary conditions across the characteristic line
Abstract
It is well-known the continuity properties of solutions to the wave equation depend strongly on both the initial data and the boundary conditions, particularly across the characteristic lines, where information propagates. Moreover, the continuity properties of solutions to the wave equation depend strongly on the type of boundary condition imposed and on the interaction of the characteristics with the boundary. Across the characteristic lines, singularities and discontinuities propagate according to the geometry of the problem, while the boundary conditions determine how these singularities are re?ected or transmitted. In this study, we will examine the behavior of solutions of the wave equation, corresponding to different boundary conditions, on its characteristic line, using the formulas obtained as a result of d'Alembert's formula, for all the three, Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin, types of boundary conditions.
