Review text

The paper deals with the numerical solution of the following problem \[ {1\over a^2}{\partial^2 u\over\partial t^2}+b{\partial u\over \partial t}=\Delta u, \] in \(D\times (0,T)\), \(a>0\), \(b>0\); \(u(x,0)={\partial u\over\partial t}(x,0)=0\) in \(D\); \({\partial u\over\partial\nu}=F\) on \(\Gamma\times[0,T]\), where \(D\subset \mathbb{R}^2\) is an unbounded domain such that its complement is bounded and simply connected with boundary \(\Gamma\in C^3\); \(\nu\) is a unit vector of external normal to \(\Gamma\). The given problem is reduced to a sequence of stationary problems by Rothe's method \[ \Delta U_{n}-\gamma^2 U_{n}= \alpha_0 U_{n-1}+\alpha_1 U_{n-2} \] in \(D\); \({\partial U_{n}\over\partial\nu}=F_{n}\) on \(\Gamma\); \(U_{n}(x)=O(1)\), \(|x|\to\infty\) for \(n=0,\ldots,N_{t}-2\), where \(U_{n}(x)\approx u(x,t_{n})\); \(F_{n}\doteq F(x,t_{n})\); \(\gamma^2\doteq{1\over a^2 h^2}+{b\over h}\); \(\alpha_0\doteq -{2\over a^2 h^2}-{b\over h}\); \(t_{i}=ih\), \(i=-2,-1,\ldots, N_{t}-2\), \(h=T/(N_{t}-2)\), \(N_{t}>2\); \(U_{-2}=U_{-1}=0\). The author proves that the obtained system has at most one solution. Later the method of boundary integral equations is used.
