Symmetries for wave equation with additional conditions are found. Some conditions yield infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra for the nonlinear equation. Ansatzes and solutions corresponding to the new symmetries were constructed.
We deal with the wave equation with assigned moving boundary ($0<x<a(t)$) upon which Dirichlet or mixed boundary conditions are specified, here $a(t)$ is assumed to move slower than the light and periodically. Moreover $a$ is continuous,…
