The wave equation in one spatial dimension can be written as follows: =. This equation is typically described as having only one spatial dimension x , because the only other independent variable is the time t .
The one-way equation and solution in the three-dimensional case was assumed to be similar way as for the one-dimensional case by a mathematical decomposition (factorization) of a 2nd order differential equation. [15] In fact, the 3D One-way wave equation can be derived from first principles: a) derivation from impedance theorem [3] and b ...
The only difference between a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous (partial) differential equation is that in the homogeneous form we only allow 0 to stand on the right side ((,) =), while the inhomogeneous one is much more general, as in (,) could be any function as long as it's continuous and can be continuously differentiated twice.
The wave equation describing a standing wave field in one dimension (position ) is p x x − 1 c 2 p t t = 0 , {\displaystyle p_{xx}-{\frac {1}{c^{2}}}p_{tt}=0,} where p {\displaystyle p} is the acoustic pressure (the local deviation from the ambient pressure) and c {\displaystyle c} the speed of sound , using subscript notation for the partial ...
For one spin particle in one dimension, to a particular state there corresponds two wave functions, Ψ(x, S z) and Ψ(p, S y), both describing the same state. For each choice of maximal commuting sets of observables for the abstract state space, there is a corresponding representation that is associated to a function space of wave functions.
This approach essentially confined the electron wave in one dimension, along a circular orbit of radius . In 1921, prior to de Broglie, Arthur C. Lunn at the University of Chicago had used the same argument based on the completion of the relativistic energy–momentum 4-vector to derive what we now call the de Broglie relation.

The general form of a one-dimensional periodic potential equation is Hill's equation: [19] + =, where f(t) is a periodic potential. Specific periodic one-dimensional equations include the Kronig–Penney model and Mathieu's equation.
