On the Hedstrom nonreflecting boundary condition for \(C^{2}\) solutions (Q2432718)

The authors showed that Hedstrom's nonreflecting boundary condition works for some nonsimple wave solutions in the case where the solution is \(C^2\). Hedstrom's boundary condition is a pioneering work in the discipline of characteristic nonreflecting boundary conditions, and Hedstrom gave a theoretical assurance of the nonreflectivity for simple-wave solutions. In this paper the authors extend Hedstrom's theorem for \(C^2\) solutions. It is proved that the Hedstrom boundary condition eliminates the reflection if the solution is \(C^2\), and there do not exist ingoing waves generated by the nonlinear interactions near the boundary.
