In many numerical implementations of the Cauchy formulation of Einstein's field equations one encounters artificial boundaries which raises the issue of specifying boundary conditions. Such conditions have to be chosen carefully. In…

The null-timelike initial-boundary value problem for a hyperbolic system of equations consists of the evolution of data given on an initial characteristic surface and on a timelike worldtube to produce a solution in the exterior of the…
In the present paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the wave equation with a time-dependent scale invariant damping, i.e.$\frac{2}{1+t}\partial_t v$ and a cubic convolution $(|x|^{-\gamma}*v^2)v$ with $\gamma\in (0,n)$, where $v=v(x,t)$…
