This is a reflection problem with Dirichlet boundary condition. The solution on the interval 0<x< ∞  is given by:

$
\begin{equation}
u(x,t) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{4k \pi t}}\int_{0}^{\infty}{( e^{\frac{-(x-y)^2}{4kt}} - e^{\frac{-(x+y)^2}{4kt}} } )\phi(y) dy
\end{equation}
$

You can check page 59 of Strauss' book for more details.

Try using characteristic coordinates, I think it should work.

I can't really see how part C of problem 5 is any different then a Cauchy problem, except for a change in coordinates and in the notes the initial conditions of the Goursat problem are given with respect to U only and not U_t .

Could someone please explain the differences between Goursat and Cauchy problems? thanks in advance.

I did use the method of characteristics, but I parametrized x and y in terms of s and integrated with respect to s . The thing is my solution doesn't depend on Y, is this ok ?

Hello,

For this question I managed to find a solution that satisfies the conditions, but that only depends on X and a constant.

In general, if I find a solution that satisfies all conditions is this solution correct regardless of the method used to find it?
