Home Assignment 5 / Problem 2

Hi Professor,

I'm not sure if there's a typo but in Problem 2 I think we should be given a specific interval (say [-pi, pi]) in order to plot the graph. Thanks!

Part 3 (to check if there's 0 or negative eigenvalues).

OK. -- V.I.

Please let me know if there's anything wrong with the answer attached. Thanks

And I got a different answer for part (b) as well, which is

1/2*erf⁡((1-x)/√2t) + 1/2*erf⁡((1+x)/√2t), where √2t stands for "square root of 2t".

I'm not sure if I did it wrong but I got a different answer to part(a): 1/2 + 1/2*erf(x/√2t), where √2t stands for "square root of 2t".

I think it doesn't matter. If you use the error function (the first attachment) provided by our professor, then you let p = ((y-x+2kαt) / (√ 2kt)). If you use the other form (the second attachment) which is used in the textbook, then you let p = ((y-x+2kαt) / (√ 4kt)).

And in another post, http://forum.math.toronto.edu/index.php?topic=49.0 Julong has shown that these two forms are actually equivalent.

Professor can you provide some feedback to the posted solutions? It seems that you ignored this post completely. Thanks.

Yeah my answers are really long but I don't know other ways to solve the problem.... :(

Q3 part(d)

We get the same answer as in part (a) because g(x) is itself an even function, so if we take even reflection we still get g(x).

Q3 part(a)

(Sorry this part is kind of long so I have to attach 4 pictures. Please let me know if there's anything wrong with the answers.)

Yeah I've read the lecture notes twice.....  actually my question is, can we use method of reflection (continuation) only with a boundary condition at x=0? From what we've learned, we use this method only when we have a Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition (evaluated at x=0). If I instead have a boundary condition evaluated at, say x=t, is there any technique that allows me to take advantage of the method of continuation? I don't know how I can make the boundary condition automatically satisfied in this case..... Thanks.
