Abstract:
We consider the equation
$\ddot x(t)=Ax(t)+f(t)$,
$t\in\mathbb{R}$, with the matrix coefficient
$A$. This equation has a unique solution
$x$, which is bounded on
$\mathbb{R}$, for any continuous bounded inhomogeneity
$f$ if and only if the spectrum of the matrix
$A$ does not intersect the semi-axis
$\mathbb{R}_-=\{z\in\mathbb{R}: z\le0\}$. In this case, the solution
$x$ is defined by the formula
\begin{equation*}
x(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}G(t-s)f(s)\,ds, \quad
G(t)=-\frac12 e^{-\sqrt{A}|t|}(\sqrt{A})^{-1}.
\end{equation*}
We discuss the problem of approximate calculation of Green's function
$G(t)$ using its expansion into Laguerre's series. The scale parameter
$\tau$ in Laguerre's polynomials is chosen to ensure the highest accuracy.
