On resonances in transversally vibrating strings induced by an external force and a time-dependent coefficient in a Robin boundary condition

In this paper an initial–boundary value problem on a bounded, fixed interval is considered for a one-dimensional and forced string equation subjected to a Dirichlet boundary condition at one end of the string and a Robin boundary condition with a slowly varying time-dependent coefficient at the other end of the string. This problem may serve...

On solving wave equations on fixed bounded intervals involving Robin boundary conditions with time-dependent coefficients

In this paper, it is shown how characteristic coordinates, or equivalently how the well-known formula of d'Alembert, can be used to solve initial-boundary value problems for wave equations on fixed, bounded intervals involving Robin type of boundary conditions with time-dependent coefficients. A Robin boundary condition is a condition that...
