For one-dimensional wave equations with the van der Pol boundary conditions, there have been several different ways in the literature to characterize the complexity of their solutions. However, if the right-end van der Pol boundary condition contains a source term, then a considerable technical difficulty arises as to how to describe the complexity of the system. In this paper, we take advantage of a topologically dynamical method to characterize the dynamical behaviors of the systems, including sensitivity, transitivity and Li–Yorke chaos. For this end, we consider a system [Formula: see text] induced by a sequence of continuous maps and its functional envelope [Formula: see text], and show that, under some considerable condition, [Formula: see text] is transitive if and only if [Formula: see text] is weakly mixing of order [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text] is Li–Yorke chaotic and sensitive if [Formula: see text] is strongly mixing. Those abstract results have their own significance and can be applied to such kind of equations.

In this paper, we consider the chaotic oscillation of coupled one-dimensional wave equations. The symmetric nonlinearities of van der Pol type are proposed at the two boundary endpoints, which can cause the energy of the system to rise and fall within certain bounds. At the interconnected point of the wave equations, the energy is injected into the system through an anti-damping velocity feedback. We prove the existence of the snapback repeller when the parameters enter a certain regime, which causes the system to be chaotic. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.


The two pairs of one-dimensional wave equations which govern the odd and the even-parity perturbations of the Reissner–Nordström black hole are derived directly from a treatment of its metric perturbations. The treatment closely parallels the corresponding treatment in the context of the Schwarzschild black hole.

This paper is devoted to the study of time-periodic solutions to the nonlinear one-dimensional wave equation with x-dependent coefficients u(x)ytt – (u(x)yx)x + g(x,t,y) = f(x,t) on (0,π) × ℝ under the periodic boundary conditions y(0,t) = y(π,t), yx(0,t) = yx(π,t) or anti-periodic boundary conditions y(0, t) = –y(π,t), yx[0,t) = – yx(π,t). Such a model arises from the forced vibrations of a non-homogeneous string and the propagation of seismic waves in non-isotropic media. Our main concept is that of the ‘weak solution’. For T, the rational multiple of π, we prove some important properties of the weak solution operator. Based on these properties, the existence and regularity of weak solutions are obtained.

We study the problem of the well-posedness for the abstract Cauchy problem associated to the non-autonomous one-dimensional wave equation utt = A(t)u with general Wentzell boundary conditions Here A(t)u := (a(x, t)ux)x, a(x, t) ≥ ε > 0 in [0, 1] × [0, + ∞) and βj(t) > 0, γj(t) ≥ 0, (γ0(t), γ1(t)) ≠ (0,0). Under suitable regularity conditions on a, βj, γj we prove the well-posedness in a suitable (energy) Hilbert space
