Problem 6
« on: October 04, 2012, 06:26:59 PM »
In question 6 part a, Are we supposed we have condition like U(l,t)=U(0,t)=0?

No, it was at (a) to be integral on $(-\infty,\infty)$. $u(l,t)=u(0,t)=0$ (or Neumann) would be in (b)

so, the only condition for a is Ut = K Uxx?

For 6b boundary conditions include u(l,t) or no? So that u(0,t)=u(l,t)=0 (Dirichlet) or u_x(0,t)=u_x(l,t)=0 (Newman).

Or Dirichlet on one end and Neumann on another (but one can notice that ends are independent so it would be just a footnote).

Please surround your math snippets by dollar signs for MathJax to kick out. Like
Code: [Select]
$u(0,t)=u(l,t)=0$ to produce
$u(0,t)=u(l,t)=0$

Professor can we assume that u is 0 at positive and negative infinity? Thanks!

If you mean that $u=0$ as $|x|\ge C$, then the answer is no
If you mean that $u$ fast decays as $|x|\to \infty$, then the answer is yes

(a) and (b) are done completely, (c) is not. Question: is in (c) $u(x,t)=c$ is a solution for any constant $c$?

Remark. Your scanning is good but not great: try to scan to black-white not colour; then under correct threshold setting blue lines will disappear but text will remain dark. Size would be smaller. BTW, one can attach up to 4 images (< 192kb) to a single post (in our settings)

No. From Robin conditions we can see that  $u(x,t)=c$ is a solution only when $c=0$.

This is a complete answer to (c) as $a_j>0$
