For several of the wave phenomena that we might see or experience around us, we can
derive the partial differential equations that govern their behavior. Even though the primary
physical factors that give rise to these wave phenomena differ, by examining these partial
differential equations it is possible to find some common form for them. Vibration and wave
propagation phenomena are governed by partial differential equations known as wave
equations. Our goal in this thesis is to study initial and initial-boundaiy value problems …
