Hi,

for you second order equation you have two drgrees of freedom in
thr space direction, i.e., you can give (u[-L,t] and u[L,t]) or
(u[-L,t] and D[u[x,t,x]/. x->L) or (D[u[x,t,x]/. x->-L and u[L,t])
but you can't give three conditions, espcial not for inner points.
In the inner points of the interval the differential equation rules and
not any condition.

But you can solve the equation on the interval x in [0,L] and use
the symmetry of your equation (and the solution).

Regards
