    1. This document provides tutorial problems for solving partial differential equations using separation of variables and other methods. The problems cover solving non-homogeneous heat equations, wave equations in one dimension with various boundary and initial conditions. 2. Problem 4 shows that the one dimensional wave equation can be reduced to a form where the solution can be expressed as the sum of two arbitrary functions of shifted arguments involving x and t. 3. Problem 5 considers the wave equation in an infinite medium and shows that the solution can be written as the average of the initial condition function evaluated at shifted arguments involving x and t.

    MA203 Complex Analysis and Differential Equations-II


    (Autumn Semester 2023)
    Instructor: Dr. Debopriya Mukherjee
    Tutorial Sheet 3
    1. [Nonhomogeneous heat equation] Can you think of an idea—based on what we have learned
    in the class—to solve a nonhomogeneous heat equation

    ut − α2 uxx = 7e−2x , t > 0, 0<x<L (∗)

    with the boundary conditions

    u(0, t) = 0, u(L, t) = 0, for all t ≥ 0

    and the initial condition

    u(x, 0) = f (x), 0 < x < L,

    where f (x) is a given function? [The term on the right-hand side of the nonhomogeneous
    heat equation (∗) may represent heat loss in the bar.]

    2. Find the solution of the wave equation

    ∂2u ∂2u
    2
    = c2 2 t > 0, 0 < x < L,
    ∂t ∂x
    satisfying the boundary conditions

    u(0, t) = 0, u(L, t) = 0 for t≥0

    and the initial conditions

    u(x, 0) = f (x), ut (x, 0) = g(x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ L,

    by directly using the method of separation of variables.

    3. Determine the solution of the wave equation

    ∂2u 2
    2∂ u
    = c t > 0, 0 < x < 1,
    ∂t2 ∂x2
    satisfying the boundary conditions

    u(0, t) = 1, u(1, t) = 0 for t ≥ 0

    and the initial conditions

    u(x, 0) = 1 − x, ut (x, 0) = 0 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.

    4. (a) Show that the wave equation

    ∂2u 2
    2∂ u
    = c
    ∂t2 ∂x2
    can be reduced to the form uξη = 0 by the change of variables ξ = x − ct and η = x + ct.

    1
    (b) Show that u(x, t) can be written as

    u(x, t) = ϕ(x − ct) + ψ(x + ct),

    where ϕ and ψ are arbitrary functions.

    5. Consider the wave equation

    utt = c2 uxx

    in an infinite one-dimensional medium subject to the initial conditions

    u(x, 0) = f (x), ut (x, 0) = 0 for − ∞ < x < ∞.

    Using the form of the solution obtained in problem 5, show that the solution of the given
    problem is
    1 
    u(x, t) = f (x − ct) + f (x + ct) .
    2

    6. Show that the solution of problem 2 with g(x) = 0 obtained with the method of separation
    of variables can be written in the form
    1 
    u(x, t) = h(x − ct) + h(x + ct) .
