To do so, the author has introduced the notion of energy spaces included in the Schwartz space $\\mathbf{S}^-(\\mathbb{R})$. In this model, the key is to look at which ones of these subspaces are reduced to {0} with the help of energy operators (and generalized energy operators). It leads to define additional solutions for a nominated PDE. Beyond that, this work intends to develop the concept of multiplicity of solutions for a linear PDE through the study of these energy spaces (i.e. emptiness). The main concept is that the PDE is viewed as a generator of solutions rather than the classical way of solving the given equation with a known form of the solutions together with boundary conditions. The theory is applied to the wave equation with the special case of the evanescent waves. The work ends with a discussion on another concept, the duplication of solutions. The discussion takes place for the special case of waves trapped in an electromagnetic chamber (i.e. a closed tapered waveguide)", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-09T02:07:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26A99", "34L30", "46A11" ], "keywords": [ "multiplicity", "generalized energy operators", "special case", "wave equation", "energy spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
