Chapter 12 Partial Differential Equations (Pdes)
Chapter 12 Partial Differential Equations (Pdes)
2. u ϭ c1(y)e x ϩ c2(y)e؊x.
Problems 1–12 will help the student get used to the notations in this chapter; in
particular, y will now occur as an independent variable. Second-order PDEs in this
set will also help review the solution methods in Chap. 2, which will play a role in
separating variables.

12. u ϭ (c1(x) ϩ c2(x)y)e؊5y ϩ _12 y 2e؊5y. The function on the right is a solution of the
homogeneous ODE, corresponding to a double root, so that the last term in the solution
involves the factor y 2.
14. c ϭ 1/2.
Problems 14–25 should give the student a first impression of what kind of solutions
to expect, and of the great variety of solutions compared with those of ODEs. It should
be emphasized that although the wave and the heat equations look so similar, their
solutions are basically different. It could be mentioned that the boundary and initial
conditions are basically different, too. Of course, this will be seen in great detail in
later sections, so one should perhaps be cautious not to overload students with such
details before they have seen a problem being solved.

22. Solutions of the Laplace equation in two dimensions will be derived systematically
in complex analysis. Nevertheless, it may be useful to see an unsystematic selection
of typical solutions, as given in (7) and in Probs. 23–25.
26. Team Project. (a) Denoting derivatives with respect to the entire argument x ϩ ct
and x Ϫ ct, respectively, by a prime, we obtain by differentiating twice
uxx ϭ v Љ ϩ w Љ, utt ϭ v Љc 2 ϩ w Љc 2
and from this the desired result.

There are more graphically posed problems (Probs. 5–10) than in previous editions,
so that CAS-using students will have to make at least some additional effort in solving
these problems.

these conditions is w(x, t) ϭ xh(t)/L. Then

2. u1 ϭ sin x e؊t, u2 ϭ sin 2x e؊4t, u3 ϭ sin 3x e؊9t. A main difference is the rapidity
of decay, so that series solutions (9) will be well approximated by partial sums of
few terms.

26. v(x, t) ϭ u(x, t)w(t). Substitution into the given PDE gives
u t w ϩ uwЈ ϭ c2uxx w Ϫ uw.
Division by w gives
ut ϩ uwЈ/w ϭ c 2uxx Ϫ u.
This reduces to ut ϭ c2uxx if wЈ/w ϭ Ϫ1, hence w ϭ e؊t. Also, u(0, t) ϭ 0, u(L, t) ϭ 0,
u(x, 0) ϭ ƒ(x), so that the solution is v ϭ e؊tu with u given by (9) and (10).
