Ch 1--2 / Bonus problem for week 2
« on: January 17, 2013, 02:18:45 PM »
Equation
$$
y'=\frac{y-x-2}{y+x}
$$
by a change of variables $x=t+a$, $y=z+b$reduce to homogeneous equation and solve it. Express $y$ as an implicit function of $x$:
$$
F(x,y)=C.

Ch 1--2 / Bonus problem of the week 1:
« on: January 10, 2013, 07:34:59 AM »
Submitting (first) the correct solution of the "Problem of the Week" (I will try to post them each week) you get karma which translates to bonus marks.

  • (a) Find the general solution of
    \begin{equation}
    x y'= 2 y(4-y)
    \label{eq-1}
    \end{equation}
  • (b) Find solution of (\ref{eq-1}) (as $x>0$) satisfying initial condition $y(1)=1$;
  • (c) Using computer f.e. http://math.rice.edu/~dfield/dfpp.html solve (a), (b) graphically: output will two pictures: each containing a field of directions and several integral lines in (a), and one particular line in (b).

Technical Questions / LaTeX advices
« on: November 20, 2012, 06:14:04 AM »
We are talking about LaTeX in full, not MathJax

1) Strongly recommended: \documentclass[]{memoir}--very flexible well maintained, can emulate book and article. It allows normalfontsize 14 pt \documentclass[14pt]{memoir} -- note how tests are typed for convenience

2) Strongly recommended: \usepackage{hyperref}--makes better pdf, clickable links (in \label--\ref, \bibitem-\cite, in table of content, index) and also bookmarks

3) Strongly recommended \usepackage{microtype}--better typesetting

4) For graphics (LaTeX drawings) \usepackage{pgf}--the most powerful (another pstricks is also great)

5) For presentations \documentclass{beamer}-- nearest competition powerdot

Term Test 2 / TT2--Problem 5
« on: November 15, 2012, 08:26:34 PM »
  Let $Q = \{(x,y)\in {\mathbb{R}}^2: |x|<1, |y|<1\}.$ Draw the set $Q.$ We define data $g$ on the boundary of $Q$:

Find the solution $u$ of the Dirichlet problem on $Q$:
\begin{equation*}
\Delta u=0 \qquad \text{for  }  (x,y) \in Q
\end{equation*}
with the boundary conditions
\begin{equation*}
u = \left\{\begin{aligned}
&y &&\text{as  }x=1,\\[3pt]
-&y &&\text{as }x=-1,\\[3pt]
&x &&\text{as   }y=1,\\[3pt]
-&x &&\text{as   }y=-1.
\end{aligned}\right.
\end{equation*}

\begin{equation*}
f(x)= \left\{\begin{aligned}
&1-|x| &&|x|<1\\
&0 &&|x|>1.
\end{aligned}\right.
\end{equation*}
and write this function $f(x)$ as a Fourier integral.

Term Test 2 / TT2--Problem 3
« on: November 15, 2012, 08:22:48 PM »
Let $\phi: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfy the following conditions:
  • $\phi$ is continuous.
  • $\phi'$ is continuous.
  • $\phi(x) = 0$ for all $|x|>1$.
Consider the integral
$$
I_\lambda = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \phi (x) \cos (\lambda x)\, dx.
$$
Prove that $|I_\lambda| \rightarrow 0$ when $\lambda \rightarrow \infty$.

Term Test 2 / TT2--Problem 1
« on: November 15, 2012, 08:14:38 PM »
Let $f:{\mathbb{R}}\rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}$ be a continuous but non-differentiable function which satisfies $f(x)=0$ for all $|x| > 1.$ Let $g:{\mathbb{R}}\rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}$ be a continuous function which satisfies satisfies $g(x)=0$ for all $|x| > 2.$ Suppose further that derivative $g'$ and second derivative $g''$ are both continuous. The convolution $f*g$ of these two functions is defined by the formula
$$
(f*g) (x) = \int f(x-y)g(y)\,dy.
$$
  • (a) Prove that the function $f*g(x) =0$ for $|x|>3$.
  • (b) Prove that the derivative of the function $f*g$ is continuous.

Home Assignment 5 / About HA5
« on: November 01, 2012, 05:10:42 AM »
Some of subproblems are just tricks:

Example: Decompose into full F.s. $\cos (mx)$. Answer: $\cos (mx)$ as it is one of the basic functions (however it would not be so if we decompose into $\sin$-F.s., or F.s with respect to $\sin((n+\frac{1}{2}x)$, $n=0,1,\ldots$.


What is the sum F.s. on $(-\infty,\infty) was discussed in http://www.math.toronto.edu/courses/apm346h1/20129/L16.html
