8 1. Use the Laplace transform to solve the following initial value problem:
dx
dt
= (x 1)(4 + 2y)
dy .
dt
= y(x + 2)
ii) Investigate type and stability of each critical point of the linearized system.
iii) What conclusions can you draw about this nonlinear system?
u(x, 0) = 0, 0xL.
i) Write u(x, t) = v(x) + w(x, t), where v is the steady state part and w is the
transient part of the solution. State the boundary value problems satisfied by
v(x) and w(x, t), respectively.
ii) Take s(x) = k, a constant. Solve the boundary value problems for v and, using
the method of separation of variables, for w. (The integrals in the final step
of the solution procedure do not have to be evaluated.)
3 5. Solve the following boundary value problem or else show that it has no solution.
y + 4y = cos x, y (0) = 0, y () = 0
(1 x2 )y 2xy + 6y = 0 .
i) Determine the general solution in the form of power series about the point
x0 = 0. (It is sufficient to compute only the coefficients of the first few nonzero
terms of each independent solution.)
