Review text

The propagation of wave energy in the case of a semi-discrete approximation of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation is studied. The theory of Wigner measures associated to discrete functions is used essentially. The limits of energy densities associated to sequences of solutions of semi-discrete wave equations are calculated. It is shown that the solutions of discrete and continuous models have different properties. It is proved in the constant-coefficient case that the semi-discrete wave equation has the solutions whose energy concentrates at a fixed point in space for every time. Some formal analogies between wave propagation in discrete media and highly-oscillating media are presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1026.00021].
