We consider a stable unique continuation problem for the wave equation where the initial data is lacking and the solution is reconstructed using measurements in some subset of the bulk domain. Typically fairly sophisticated space-time…
This brief note wants to bring to attention that the formulation of physically reasonable initial-boundary value problems for wave equations in Lorentzian space-times is not unique, i.e., that there are inequivalent such formulations that…
We present a novel space-time isogeometric discretization of the acoustic wave equation in second-order formulation that is intrinsically unconditionally stable. The method relies on a variational framework inspired by [Walkington 2014],…

This work presents a space-time isogeometric analysis of biharmonic wave problem, in contrast to the more common application of space-time methods to second order wave equations. We first establish the unique solvability of the continuous…
A new idea for iterative solution of the Helmholtz equation is presented. We show that the iteration which we denote WaveHoltz and which filters the solution to the wave equation with harmonic data evolved over one period, corresponds to a…
We introduce a coercivity condition as a time domain analogue of the frequency criterion provided by the famous Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma. For a simple stochastic linear quadratic control problem we show how the coercivity condition…
We study space--time isogeometric discretizations of the linear acoustic wave equation that use splines of arbitrary degree p, both in space and time. We propose a space--time variational formulation that is obtained by adding a…
Time-harmonic solutions to the wave equation can be computed in the frequency or in the time domain. In the frequency domain, one solves a discretized Helmholtz equation, while in the time domain, the periodic solutions to a discretized…
