We need the solution of this equation to be inside the unit circle for stability, which requires 1 t2 r , r =A 2 1 (9.3.7) 1 cos(/P ) x

The objective of the following MATLAB routine wave() is to implement this algorithm for solving a one-dimensional wave equation.

u(x, 0) = x(1 x),

u/t (x, 0) = 0

In this section, we consider a two-dimensional wave equation for the amplitude function u(x, y, t) ((x, y ) is position, t is time) as 2 u(x, y, t) 2 u(x, y, t) + x 2 y 2 = 2 u(x, t) t 2 (9.3.8)

u(0, t) = 0

for x = 0,

u(1, t) = 0

We made the following MATLAB program solve_wave.m in order to use the routine wave() to solve this equation and ran this program to get the result shown in Fig. 9.5 and see a dynamic picture.

In order for this equation to be solvable, we should be provided with the boundary conditions u(0, y, t) = bx 0 (y, t), u(x, 0, t) = by 0 (x, t), u(xf , y, t) = bxf (y, t), and u(x, yf , t) = byf (x, t)

as well as the initial condition u(x, y, 0) = i0 (x, y) and u/t |t =0 (x, y, 0) = i0 (x, y). In the same way as with the one-dimensional case, we replace the second derivatives on both sides by their three-point central difference approximation (5.3.1) as A
