Abstract

The Adomian decomposition method is employed in the solution of the linear nonhomogeneous one-dimensional wave equation. This method leads to an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series. A comparison of the results obtained by the numerical method with the exact solution from d’Alembert’s formula shows the high degree of accuracy of the Adomian decomposition method.

Keywords
