On the Derivation of Explicit Formulae for Solutions of the Wave Equation in Hyperbolic Space

Abstract

We offer a new approach to solving the initial value problem for the wave equation in hyperbolic space in arbitrary dimensions. Our approach is based on the spectral analysis of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in hyperbolic space and some structural formulae for rapidly decreasing functions of this operator. © 2013, Hacettepe University.
