Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss the initial-boundary value problems that control the wave propagation in two and three dimensional spaces. The methods that will be applied are the Adomian decomposition method [1] and the method of separation of variables [25]. The two methods have been outlined before and were applied to the one dimensional wave equation in Chapter 5.
