For the first time, a correction method of test solutions
was proposed for a model wave equation with two constant
coefficients-rates for rectilinear first quarter in [1] and for
curvilinear first quarter in [2] of the plane. The developed
correction method is used to obtain classical (twice contin-
uously differentiable) solutions for which are twice contin-
uously differentiable on the critical characteristics for the
obtained classical solutions. A smoothness criterion of the
right-hand side of this equation in the first quarter of the
plane is derived. It is proved that if the right-hand side of
the two-rate model wave equation depends only on one of
two independent variables, then its continuity in one of these
variables is necessary and sufficient for these solutions to be
classical solutions of this equation in quarter of the plane.

tone implicit inverse functions x=hi{yi, t}, t ≥0,and
t=h(i)[x, yi], x ∈R, i = 1,2.By the definition of inverse

Abstract: A correction method of test solutions into classical solutions to a new inhomogeneous model wave
equation with variable two-rates in the first quarter of the plane was developed to derive the minimum
smoothness requirement of its right-hand side. In the case of different rates, it is not possible to derive the
minimum smoothness of right-hand side of the inhomogeneous model wave equation in the first quarter of the
plane without correcting both test generalized and test classical solutions. In this paper, classical solutions to
the inhomogeneous two-rate model wave equation and the smoothness criterion of their right-hand side are
obtained. We need them to find explicit unique and stable classical solutions and Hadamard correctness criteria
to mixed (initial-boundary) problems for this wave equation using developed by the author of the ”implicit
characteristics method”.
