Abstract
A few simple examples of the linearized boundary and initial-boundary value problems formulated in the previous chapter will be solved by the Fourier or Laplace transform method. Through these simple examples, basic wave phenomena or terminologies in water waves will be introduced. These are phase velocity (§2.2), dispersion relation (§2.3), group velocity (§2.4), wave fronts (§2.5), to name a few.
