REGULARIZATION OF AN ILL-POSED HYPERBOLIC PROBLEM AND THE UNIQUENESS OF THE SOLUTION BY A WAVELET GALERKIN METHOD

We consider the problem K(x)u xx = u tt , 0 < x < 1, t ≥ 0, with the boundary condition u(0,t) = g(t) ∈ L 2 (R) and u x (0, t ) = 0, where K(x) is continuous and 0 < α ≤ K (x) < +∞. This is an ill-posed problem in the sense that, if the solution exists, it does not depend continuously on g. Considering the existence of a solution u(x, ) ∈ H 2 (R) and using a wavelet Galerkin method with Meyer multiresolution analysis, we regularize the ill-posedness of the problem. Furthermore we prove the uniqueness of the solution for this problem.
