We show that any second order linear ordinary diffrential equation with constant coefficients (including the damped and undumped harmonic oscillator equation) admits an exact discretization, i.e., there exists a difference equation whose…
It is well-known that the equations for a simple fluid can be cast into what is called their Lagrange formulation. We introduce a notion of a generalized Lagrange formulation, which is applicable to a wide variety of systems of partial…
Hierarchies of Lagrangians of degree two, each only partly determined by the choice of leading terms and with some coefficients remaining free, are considered. The free coefficients they contain satisfy the most general differential…
Our goal is to review the known theory on the one-dimensional obstacle problem for the wave equation, and to discuss some extensions. We introduce the setting established by Schatzman within which existence and uniqueness of solutions can…
Assuming the space dimension is not constant, but varies with the expansion of the Universe, a Lagrangian formulation for a toy model Universe is given. There is a free paremeter in the theory, $C$, with which we can fix the dimension of…
For the $1+1$ dimensional damped stochastic Klein-Gordon equation, we show that random singularities associated with the law of the iterated logarithm exist and propogate in the same way as the stochastic wave equation. This provides…

An equation is obtained to find the Lagrangian for a one-dimensional autonomous system. The continuity of the first derivative of its constant of motion is assumed. This equation is solved for a generic nonconservative autonomous system…
We prove a characterization of the support of the law of the solution for a stochastic wave equation with two-dimensional space variable, driven by a noise white in time and correlated in space. The result is a consequence of an…
This paper is devoted to the exponential stability for one-dimensional linear wave equations with in-domain localized damping and several types of Wentzell (or dynamic) boundary conditions. In a quite general boundary setting, we establish…
In this paper, we establish sharp dispersive estimates for the linear wave equation on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with dimension $d=4$. Combining the singularity theory with results in uniform estimates of oscillatory integrals, we prove…
We consider a degenerate wave equation in one dimension, with drift and in presence of a leading operator which is not in divergence form. We impose a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition where the degeneracy occurs and a boundary…
For a damped wave (or Klein-Gordon) equation on a bounded domain, with a focusing power-like nonlinearity satisfying some growth conditions, we prove that a global solution is bounded in the energy space, uniformly in time. Our result…
We study the Lagrange representation of the wave equation with generalized Laplacian $\operatorname{div} T \nabla$. We allow the coefficients -- the Young modulus $T$ and the density $\rho$ -- to be $\mathrm{L}^{\infty}$ or even nonlocal…
Using a correspondence between the spectrum of the damped wave equation and non-self-adjoint Schroedinger operators, we derive various bounds on complex eigenvalues of the former. In particular, we establish a sharp result that the…
