Mixed initial-boundary value problems for hyperbolic equations with constant coefficients

Initial-boundary Value Problems for Continuity Equations with Bv Coefficients

We establish well-posedness of initial-boundary value problems for continuity equations with BV (bounded total variation) coefficients. We do not prescribe any condition on the orientation of the coefficients at the boundary of the domain. We also discuss some examples showing that, regardless the orientation of the coefficients at the boundary, uniqueness may be violated as soon as the BV regu...

Initial Boundary Value Problems for Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations

1, Differential equations in one space dimension. The simplest hyperbolic differential equation is given by (1.1) du/dt = cdu/dx, where c is a constant, Its general solution is u(x, t) — F(x + ci), i.e., it is constant along the "characteristic lines" x + ct = const (see Figure 1). Therefore, if we u(l,t) = g(t) u(0,t)*g(t want to determine the solution of (1.1) in the region 0 ^ x ^ 1, t ja 0,...

Initial-Boundary Value Problem for Hyperbolic Equations

where Ji = 0 for x0 < 0. The problem is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on B(x, B) such that the initial-boundary value problem (1), (2), (3) is well-posed. Note that all theorems that a;re formulated below will also apply to the case when (1) is a general hyperbolic equation or a hyperbolic system of equations of arbitrary order provided that all components of the characteristic co...

Hermite methods for hyperbolic initial-boundary value problems

We study arbitrary-order Hermite difference methods for the numerical solution of initial-boundary value problems for symmetric hyperbolic systems. These differ from standard difference methods in that derivative data (or equivalently local polynomial expansions) are carried at each grid point. Time-stepping is achieved using staggered grids and Taylor series. We prove that methods using deriva...
