Analytical Solution for the two-dimensional wave equation, final steps

The final step is to determine the coefficients B_{mn} and D_{mn} from the Fourier coefficients. The equations for these are determined by the initial conditions u(x,y,0) = f(x,y) and \partial u/\partial t|_{t=0}= g(x,y) . The final expressions are \begin{equation*} B_{mn} = \frac{2}{L}\int_0^L\int_0^L dxdy f(x,y) \sin(\frac{m\pi x}{L})\sin(\frac{n\pi y}{L}), \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} D_{mn} = \frac{2}{L}\int_0^L\int_0^L dxdy g(x,y) \sin(\frac{m\pi x}{L})\sin(\frac{n\pi y}{L}). \end{equation*} Inserting the particular functional forms of f(x,y) and g(x,y) one obtains the final closed-form expressions.
