On Waves Generated by Sources Localized at Infinity

Аннотация

The space-time ℝ⁴ is compactified by adding the manifold of infinitely distant points. The problem of constructing a solution of the wave equation with the right-hand side (the source of waves), which is a generalized function with support on the manifold of infinitely distant points, is posed and solved. Strict necessary and sufficient conditions that the source must satisfy are stated.
