p19: Second order Wave Equation on Chebyshev Grid#

We solve

\[ u_{tt} = u_{xx}, \qquad -1 < x < 1, \qquad t > 0 \]

with boundary condition

\[ u(\pm 1,t) = 0 \]

and initial condition

\[ u(x,0) = e^{-200 x^2} \]

# Time-stepping by Leap Frog Formula:

        vnew = 2*v - vold + dt**2*w; vold = v; v = vnew;

Note that the boundary conditions do not depend on time; they are satisfied initially and we do not change these values during the time stepping. This is accomplished by setting w[0] = w[N] = 0.
