Finite Mechanical Proxies for a Class of Reducible Continuum Systems

الأصل · EN

We present the exact finite reduction of a class of nonlinearly perturbed wave equations, based on the Amann-Conley-Zehnder paradigm. By solving an inverse eigenvalue problem, we establish an equivalence between the spectral finite description derived from A-C-Z and a discrete mechanical model, a well definite finite spring-mass system. By doing so, we decrypt the abstract information encoded in the finite reduction and obtain a physically sound proxy for the continuous problem.
