Abstract
This paper is dedicated to investigating the chaos of a initial-boundary value (IBV) problem of a multi-dimensional weakly hyperbolic equation subject to two general nonlinear boundary conditions (NBCs). The existence and uniqueness of solution for the IBV problem are established. By employing the snap-back repeller and heteroclinic cycle theories, it has been proven that the IBV problem with a linear and a general NBCs exhibits chaos in the sense of both Devaney and Li–Yorke. Furthermore, these chaotic results are extended to the IBV problem with two general NBCs. Two stability criteria of the IBV problem are established, respectively, for the corresponding two cases of boundary conditions. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
