You understand, that in the left there is summation with respect to $j$?

There was an explanation why one of the solutions in half-plane should be rejected (does not satisfy condition at infinity)

« on: February 01, 2019, 04:56:18 PM »
If you change $t\mapsto -t$, equation does not change, and $u|_{t=0}$ does not change, but $u_t|_{t=0}$ acquires sign "$-$". However, since $u|_{t=0}=0$, if you replace in addition $u\mapsto -u$, then nothing changes. Thus $u(x,t)=-u(x,-t)$.
If on the other hand, $h(x)=0$ then $u$ would be even with respect to $t$
If on the other hand, $h(x)=0$ then $u$ would be even with respect to $t$

No, you draw lines according to conditions: $x=1+ct$, $x=-1+ct$, $x=1-ct$ and $x=-1-ct$.
And normally one need to consider all 9 domains. However, our problems have two symmetries and it is sufficient to consider only 4 domains intersecting with the 1st quadrant and extend solution to the remaining 5, using the fact that solution is either odd or even with respect to $t$ (you need to understand, what is the case), and also solution is either odd or even with respect to $x$ (you need to understand, what is the case).

Since in this problem nothing is said about $t>0$ the complete solution should cover all cases. However, since in the problems either $g(x)=0$, or $h(x)=0$ then $u(x,t)$ is odd or even with respect to $t$, respectively. At least in some problems you can observe that solution must be even or odd with respect to $x$ as well.
In such problem, as (17), we have several regions. But we need to work out only some of them and extend to the rest by above arguments.

duplicate removed.
Yes, you need to consider all cases and it is recommended to draw a plane and different regions there

Home Assignment 3 / Re: question to determine the general solution of wave equation
« on: January 29, 2019, 03:51:02 AM »I have difficulties obtaining the general solution of the equation $u_{tt} - c^2u_{xx} = 0$. From the online textbook Section2.3, it mentions $v = u_t +cu_x$, and it gets the result $v_t - cv_x = 0$ by chain rule.Not by a chain rule. Just from equation
Quote
But when I expand $v_t - cv_x = 0$, I get an extra term $x'(t)$ when applies chain rule to $v_t$ because I think $u_{t}$ in $v$ can be two separated into to parts which are $u_t(t)$ and $u_t(x(t))$. Then applying chain rule, it becomes $v_t = u_{tt} + x'(t) +c(u_{xt} + x'(t))$ where the term $x'(t)$ can not be cancelled. I wonder where is the problem of my thought.Several days ago it was rewritten to make it more clear. Read online version
