On the wave equation with space dependent coefficients: singularities and lower order terms

Marco Discacciati, Claudia Garetto, Costas Loizou

Published 2022-08-06Version 1

This paper complements the study of the wave equation with discontinuous coefficients initiated in \cite{DGL:22} 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 \cite{GR:14}. 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.
