Abstract
This paper complements the study of the wave equation with discontinuous coefficients initiated in (Discacciati et al. in J. Differ. Equ.319 (2022) 131–185) in the case of time-dependent coefficients. Here we assume that the equation coefficients are depending on space only and we formulate Levi conditions on the lower order terms to guarantee the existence of a very weak solution as defined in (Garetto and Ruzhansky in Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.217 (2015) 113–154). As a toy model we study the wave equation in conservative form with discontinuous velocity and we provide a qualitative analysis of the corresponding very weak solution via numerical methods.
在时间相关系数的情况下,本文补充了(Discacciati et al.in J.Differ.Equ.319(2022)131–185)中开始的具有不连续系数的波动方程的研究。在这里,我们假设方程系数仅取决于空间,并且我们在低阶项上公式化Levi条件,以保证存在如(Garetto和Ruzhansky in Arch.Ration.Mech.Anal.217(2015)113–154)中定义的非常弱的解。作为一个玩具模型,我们研究了具有不连续速度的保守形式的波动方程,并通过数值方法对相应的非常弱的解进行了定性分析。
