Uniqueness of Solutions to the Helically Reduced Wave Equation with Sommerfeld Boundary Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the helical reduction of the wave equation with an arbitrary source on (n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space, n ≥ 2. The reduced equation is of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type on Rn. We obtain a uniqueness theorem for solutions on a domain consisting of an n-dimensional ball B centered on the reduction of the axis of helical symmetry and satisfying ingoing or outgoing Sommerfeld conditions on ∂B ≈ Sn−1. Non-linear generalizations of such boundary value problems (with n = 3) arise in the intermediate phase of binary inspiral in general relativity.

The Helically - Reduced Wave Equation as a Symmetric - Positive System
Motivated by the partial differential equations of mixed type that arise in the reduction of the Einstein equations by a helical Killing vector field, we consider a boundary value problem for the helically-reduced wave equation with an arbitrary source in 2+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The reduced equation is a second-order partial differential equation which is elliptic inside a disk and...
متن کاملThe Wave Equation in Non-classic Cases: Non-self Adjoint with Non-local and Non-periodic Boundary Conditions
In this paper has been studied the wave equation in some non-classic cases. In the rst case boundary conditions are non-local and non-periodic. At that case the associated spectral problem is a self-adjoint problem and consequently the eigenvalues are real. But the second case the associated spectral problem is non-self-adjoint and consequently the eigenvalues are complex numbers,in which two ...
متن کاملUniqueness Theorem for the Reduced Wave Equation under an 7vth Order Differential Boundary Condition12
where f(6) is a continuous function of 6. This radiation condition is more explicit than the usual Sommerfeld condition, and, by its very nature, rules out surface waves as they are oscillating and nondecaying along the boundary. It was found to be equally convenient to state and prove uniqueness for all N and \m9^ ±iK. The explicit far field behavior mentioned above is not required; rather we ...

متن کاملNonlinear Fuzzy Volterra Integro-differential Equation of N-th Order: Analytic Solution and Existence and Uniqueness of Solution
This paper focuses on the fuzzy Volterra integro-differential equation of nth order of the second-kind with nonlinear fuzzy kernel and initial values. The derived integral equations are solvable, the solutions of which are unique under certain conditions. The existence and uniqueness of the solutions are investigated in a theorem and an upper boundary is found for solutions. Comparison of the e...
