Directional Derivative Problem for the Telegraph Equation with a Dirac Potential

Аннотация

In the domain Q = [0,∞)×[0,∞) of the variables (x, t), for the telegraph equation with a Dirac potential concentrated at a point (x₀, t₀) ∈ Q, we consider a mixed problem with initial (at t = 0) conditions on the solution and its derivative with respect to t and a condition on the boundary x = 0 which is a linear combination with coefficients depending on t of the solution and its first derivatives with respect to x and t (a directional derivative). We obtain formulas for the classical solution of this problem under certain conditions on the point (x₀, t₀), the coefficient of the Dirac potential, and the conditions of consistency of the initial and boundary data and the right-hand side of the equation at the point (0, 0). We study the behavior of the solution as the direction of the directional derivative in the boundary condition tends to a characteristic of the equation and obtain estimates of the difference between the corresponding solutions.
