Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The method of characteristics for the wave equation can be applied not only for unbounded strings. The method of incident and reflected waves is effectively used in the case of a mixed problem for a bounded string. This method can also be modified for multipoint mixed problems for the wave equation. In this paper, the method of incident and reflected waves is adapted for multi-point problems with discontinuous derivatives. An analogue of the d'Alembert formula for discontinuous multipoint problems for the wave equation in the case of a bounded string is proved.
