Abstract

In this paper, the well-posedness of a boundary value problem for an inhomogeneous equation of string vibration with Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin conditions on separate parts of the boundary is proved. In this case, the solution is given in quadratures. If the Robin condition turns into the Neumann condition, then the problem becomes ill-posed. In particular, it is shown that the corresponding homogeneous problem has an infinite number of linearly independent solutions that can be written explicitly.
