The linear wave equation on an interval with a van der Pol nonlinear boundary condition at one end and an energy-pumping condition at the other end is a useful model for studying chaotic behavior in distributed parameter system. In this paper, we study the dynamics of the Riemann invariants (u, v) of the wave equation by means of the total variations of the snapshots on the spatial interval. Our main contributions here are the classification of the growth of total variations of the snapshots of u and v in long-time horizon, namely, there are three cases when a certain parameter enters a different regime: the growth (i) remains bounded; (ii) is unbounded (but nonexponential); (iii) is exponential, for a large class of initial conditions with finite total variations. In particular, case (iii) corresponds to the onset of chaos. The results here sharpen those in an earlier work [Chen et al., 2001].

In this paper, we consider a linear wave equation on an interval with a van der Pol nonlinear boundary condition at one end and an energy-pumping condition at the other end. We study the dynamical behavior of the Riemann invariants (u,v) of the wave equation in terms of the growth rates of the total variations of the snapshots on the spatial interval. Our main contributions here are the detection of rapid fluctuations of the snapshots of u and v in the long run. The results here sharpen those in the earlier works of [Chen et al., 2001] and [Huang, 2003].

Abstract A non-linear wave equation in a nonuniform sound space is deduced to determine the coupling relation between sound field and temperature field. Adopting Poisson’s integral a formula for calculating the interior sound field with uneven temperature field and certain initial conditions is developed. This establishes the corresponding theoretical foundation for studying the heat and vibroacoustic comfortability in a vehicle passenger room.

Let u ε(t, x) be the position at time t of a point x on a string, where the time variable t varies in an interval I: = [0, T], T is a fixed positive time, and the space variable x varies in an interval J. The string is performing forced vibrations and also under the influence of small stochastic perturbations of intensity ε. We consider two kinds of random perturbations, one in the form of initial white noise, and the other is a nonlinear random forcing which involves the formal derivative of a Brownian sheet. When J has finite endpoints, a Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed for the solutions of the resulting non-linear wave equation. Assuming that the initial conditions are of sufficient regularity, we analyze the deviations u ε(t, x) from u 0(t, x), the unperturbed position function, as the intensity of perturbation ε ↓ 0 in the uniform topology. We also discuss some continuity properties of the realization of the solutions u ε(t, x).

Abstract We consider an initial-boundary value problem for the classical linear wave equation, where mixed boundary conditions of Dirichlet and Neumann/Robin type are enforced at the endpoints of a bounded interval. First, by a careful application of the method of characteristics, we derive a closed-form representation of the solution for an impulsive Dirichlet data at the left endpoint, and valid for either a Neumann or a Robin data at the right endpoint. Then we devise a reconstruction procedure for identifying both the interval length and the Robin parameter. We provide a corresponding stability result and verify numerically its performance moving from a finite element discretization.
