To be submitted before 5 pm on December 13th

1. Formulate the condition(s) to be satisfied by real constants A and B for the system of equations

∂u ∂u ∂v
+ +A + 4u − 3v = 1,
∂t ∂x ∂x
∂v ∂u ∂v
+B − + 2u + v = 2
∂t ∂x ∂x
to be strictly hyperbolic.

2. Consider a domain
D = {(x, t)|x > 0, t > 0}.
Using the Fourier sine transform, solve the initial boundary value problem

∂u ∂ 2u
= in D,
∂t ∂x2
subject to
u(x, 0) = 0 for x>0
and
u(0, t) = 1 for t > 0.
The solution may be stated as an integral.

3. Consider a domain
D = {(x, t)|x > 0, t > 0}.
Using the Fourier cosine transform, solve the initial boundary value problem

∂u ∂ 2u
= in D,
∂t ∂x2
subject to
u(x, 0) = 0 for x>0
and
∂u
(0, t) = −1 for t > 0.
∂x
The solution may be stated as an integral.
