On the vibrations of a square membrane
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
We establish that if Ω is an open square and if P is an arbitrary point of Ω, then the solutions of the wave equation with Dirichlet boundary condition utt − Δu = 0 in R × Ω, u = 0 on R × Γ can remain strictly positive during an arbitrarily large time. In fact stronger results are proved, considering several points of Ω simultaneously and prescribing different, more general, behaviour of the solution at these points.
