1. Consider the problem on I = (0, 1):


 
d du
− + u = x, u(0) = u(1) = 0 (1)
dx dx

The exact solution for this problem is


2e
u=− sinh x + x (2)
e2 −1
n
aj φj (x), φj (x) = xj (1 − x) and n = 2. Determine the relative error at
P
Assume uh =
j=1
u′h (x = 0) and at u′h (x = ℓ).

2. Solve Equation (1) with φ1 (x) = x(1 − x) and φ2 (x) = x(1 − x)(1 − 2x) and show that the
solution u = b1 φ1 (x)+b2 φ2 (x) is same as the solution obtained by choosing φJ (x) = xJ (1−x).

3. Explain why the following problem is not well posed:

∂2u
− = f, in (0, 1) (3)
∂x2
subject to u′ (0) = u′ (1) = 0.

4. Given a strong form for the heat conduction in a circular plate:


 
d dT
k r + rs = 0, 0 < r < R (4)
dr dr

with dT |
dr r=0
= 0 and T (r = R) = 0. R is the radius of the plate, s is the heat source per unit
length along the plate radius, T is the temperature and κ is the conductivity.

ˆ Construct the weak form.


ˆ Use T = a0 + a1 r + a2 r 2 and weight functions of the same form, obtain the solution of
the weak form.
