The article gives a new short proof the V. A. Chernyatin theorem about the classical solution of the Fourier method of the mixed problem for the wave equation with fixed ends with minimum requirements on the initial data. Next, a similar problem for the simplest functional differential equation of the first order with involution in the case of the fixed end is considered, and also obtained definitive results. These results are due to a significant use of ideas A. N. Krylova to accelerate the convergence of series, like Fourier series.
