Step 2: Fulfilling the equation at the mesh points
Let the PDE be satisfied at all interior mesh points:
$$
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2} u(x_i, t_n) =
c^2\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} u(x_i, t_n),
\tag{6}
\end{equation}
$$
for \( i=1,\ldots,N_x-1 \) and \( n=1,\ldots,N_t-1 \).
For \( n=0 \) we have the initial conditions \( u=I(x) \) and \( u_t=0 \),
and at the boundaries \( i=0,N_x \) we have the boundary condition \( u=0 \).
