I am trying to do a very simple check of the representation formula of the
equation $square u = bu$. I am setting $b=1$.



I set $u(x,t) =cos x$, a stationary solution. The representation of $u(x,t)$, according to Polyanin (this book) when $b<0$ is



$$ u(x,t) =frac12[f(x+t) + f(x-t)] + fract2int_x-t^x+tfracI_1(sqrtt^2 - (x- xi)^2)sqrtt^2 - (x- xi)^2f(xi)dxi$$



Here $f(x) = u(x,0)$, and $I_1$ is the modified Bessel function. I omit the further terms expressing the initial velocity and the inhomogeneous forcing because both of these are zero, if $u(x,t) = cos(x)$.



My problem is that I cannot see how this works. I have done numerical simulations and cannot get $cos(x)$ out of the RHS (it diverges). However, if I use the representation formula for the inhomogeneous wave equation (d'Alembert's formula), everything obviously works:



$$ cos(x) =frac12[cos(x+t) + cos(x-t)] + frac12int_0^tint_x-s+t^x+s-tcos(xi)dxi ds$$
This integral is easy and is true.
So where am I going wrong?
