# Solving a cauchy hyperbolic second order PDE (Wave equation) with Riemann functions (no boundary conditions)

Solving cauchy hyperbolic second order pde

but in my case I want to solve:

$u_{tt} + a u + b u_t + d u_x = c^2 u_{xx}$

In the "book Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics and Integral Equations" by Ronald B. Guenther and John W. Lee:

the solution is given on page 121 (equation 6-20). Unfortunately, I am not sure how to derive the second integral with the modified Bessel function of first order besseli(1,...) in this equation. Is it possible, that the constant k is missing in this integral? Furthermore, considering the book as correct, how to implement the solution into MATLAB? For the evaluation of the boundaries I have 0/0... If I use integration by parts I have to divide by $k$ (but $k=0$ for $a=b=d=0$).

Thank you very much. Best

EDIT:

Okay, I found the mistake, the book is slightly wrong. Now I still have the problem how to implement the expression

$\int_{\;\beta}^\alpha I_1( 2\sqrt{k(\alpha-\eta)(\eta-\beta)} ) \frac{\displaystyle k(\alpha-\eta)}{\displaystyle \sqrt{k(\alpha-\eta)(\eta-\beta)}}\, \mathrm{d}\eta$

You can first convert the PDE to the form of $v_{\xi\eta}=kv$ , then the approach is similar to Method of charactersitics and second order PDE..
R = @(alpha,beta,xi,eta) besseli(0,2*sqrt(k*(alpha - xi).*(eta - beta)));
