p06: Variable coefficient wave equation#

Solve using FFT

\[ u_t + c(x) u_x = 0, \qquad x \in (0,2\pi), \qquad c(x) = \frac{1}{5} + \sin^2(x-1) \]

with initial condition

\[ u(x,0) = u_0(x) = \exp(-100(x-1)^2) \]

periodic boundary conditions and Leapfrog scheme in time: for \(n=1,2,\ldots\)

\[ v_j^{n+1} = v_j^{n-1} - (2 \Delta t) c(x_j) w_j^n, \qquad w_j^n \approx u_x(x_j, t_n) \]

Take initial values

\[ v_j^0 = u_0(x_j), \qquad v_j^{-1} = u_0(x_j + c(x_j)\Delta t) \]
