Introductory exposition (textbooks, tutorial papers, etc.) pertaining to partial differential equations (35-01) Wave equation (35L05)

Review text

This is the lecture held by the author during the workshop on partial differential equations (Toruń, Poland, November 12--22, 2002). The following items are discussed: 1. The derivation of the equation of vibrating string; d'Alembert's formulas. 2. Energy methods. 3. Cauchy problem in \(2(2k)\) and \(3(2k+1)\) dimensions. 4. Huygens principle. 5. Nonhomogeneous problem -- the Duhamela's formula. 6. Fourier method for boundary value problems. 7. The eigenvalue problem for the laplacean. 8. The wave equation with stifling. 9. Weak solutions. 10. Some remarks on Cauchy problem for other equations. 11. Nonlinear wave equations and other remarks. At the end (point 12) several problems to be solved by the reader are formulated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1073.35004].
