Abstract

We discuss linear and nonlinear boundary conditions for wave propagation problems. The concepts of well-posedness and stability are discussed by considering a specific example of a boundary condition occurring in the modeling of earthquakes. That boundary condition can be formulated in a linear and nonlinear way and implemented in a characteristic and non-characteristic way. These differences are discussed and the implications and difficulties are pointed out. Numerical simulations that illustrate the theoretical discussion are presented together with an application that show that the methodology can be used for practical problems.
