We present analytic solutions to the scalar and vector wave equation with variable coefficients in one spatial dimension using Laplace transform methods. These solutions are used in convergence tests of finite difference methods satisfying a summation-by-parts rule with weak enforcement of boundary conditions through the simultaneous approximation term with order of accuracy 2, 4, 6 and 8. We explore linearly varying wave speeds that contain singularities.
Wicked problems are characterized by a resistance to solution. Proposed solutions are not good or bad; they are defined as right or wrong. Decisions have to be made in the presence of deep uncertainty, and the problem formulation itself can be in question.
Congratulations, Naveen Somasunderam! Naveen received the Graduate School Travel Award to attend the upcoming JMM (Joint Mathematics Meeting) in Baltimore, Maryland, January 2019.
