A Mixed Problem for the Wave Equation in a Curvilinear Half-Strip with Discontinuous Initial Data

For a one-dimensional wave equation, we consider a mixed problem in a curvilinear half-strip. The initial conditions have a first-kind discontinuity at one point. The mixed problem models the problem of a longitudinal impact on a finite elastic rod with a movable boundary. We construct the solution using the method of characteristics in an explicit analytical form. For the problem in question, we prove the uniqueness of the solution and establish the conditions under which its classical solution exists.

Classical solution of the initial-value problem for a quasilinear wave equation with discontinuous initial conditions

For a one-dimensional mildly quasilinear wave equation given in the upper half-plane, we consider the Cauchy problem. The initial conditions have discontinuity of the first kind at one point. We construct the solution using the method of characteristics in an implicit analytical form as a solution of some integro-differential equations. The solvability of these equations, as well the smoothness of their solutions, is studied. For the problem in question, we prove the uniqueness of the solution, and establish the conditions under which its classical solution exists.
