Transform of a wave equation to a hyperbolic system












2














We consider the wave equation $$y_{tt}=y_{xx}+a(t,x)y, text{ x$in$(0,1)}, tin (0,infty).$$
with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
I want to transform this equation to a hyperbolic system of the form
$$z_t=Az_x+Bz.$$
So, I introduced the following substitutions: $z^1=y_t$, $z^2=y_x$, I obtained
$$z^1_t=z^2_{x}+az^1+a_ty$$
$$z^2_t=z^1_{x}$$



The question here:

How I get rid of the $y$ in the $z^1$ formula? Is there more adequate substitution then this ? thank you.

          You need to include $y$ in your $z$ vector. Set $z^1 =y, z^2 = y_t, z^3 = y_x$. Then
          $$
          partial_t
          begin{pmatrix}
          y \ y_t \ y_x
          end{pmatrix}
          =
          begin{pmatrix}
          y_t \ y_{xx} + a y \ y_{xt}
          end{pmatrix}
          =
          begin{pmatrix}
          0 & 0& 0\
          0 & 0& 1\
          0 & 1& 0\
          end{pmatrix}
          partial_x
          begin{pmatrix}
          y \ y_t \ y_x
          end{pmatrix}
          +
          begin{pmatrix}
          0 & 1& 0\
          a & 0& 0\
          0 & 0& 0\
          end{pmatrix}
          begin{pmatrix}
          y \ y_t \ y_x
          end{pmatrix}.
          $$

          This is the form you want.

          • Thank you @Glitch for replaying. Is there any alternative substitutions to write the above system under a $2 times 2$ hyperbolic system with $A$ is diagonal matrix? I h'ave tried but I have not secceeded.

            @Gustave You're welcome. I don't think it's possible to reduce to a $2 times 2$ first-order system when you have the lower order term $a y$ in your original equation. If you want to capture the PDE then $z$ must contain both $y_t$ and $y_x$, but $y$ itself cannot be obtained from these without integration. If you wanted to integrate, then you could obtain $y$, but you would break the structure of the first-order PDE system. Is there a particular reason you don't like the $3 times 3$ system? The tricks to solve a $2times 2$ should work here just as well...
