A proof of the well posedness of discretized wave equation with an absorbing boundary condition

Abstract - Local absorbing boundary conditions with fifth order of absorption to approximate the solution of an initial value problem, for the spatially discretized wave equation, are considered. For the one dimensional case, it is proved necessary conditions for well posedness. Numerical experiments confirming well posedness and showing good results of absorption are included.
