Summary
The solutions for the displacements of an infinite linear lattice consisting of two types of particles under some initial disturbance have been obtained and their asymptotic nature has been investigated by the method of “steepest descents” which shows that the displacements are asymptotically time dependent superposition of the normal vibrations according to Raman.
