Assuming that both ends of the rods are insulated, (a Find the temperature u(x, t for t > ; (b Determine the steady state temperature as t + (c Describe briefly how the temperature in the rod changes as time progresses. 4

5 Question 5. (* (a The 2-dimensional wave equation is given by u tt = a 2 (u xx + u yy (1 Assuming that the solution of (1 has the form u(x, y, t = X(xY(yT(t, find the ordinary differential equations satisfied by the functions X(x, Y(y, and T(t. (b In polar coordinates, the 2D wave equation is written as u tt = a 2 (u rr + 1 r u r + 1 r 2 u θθ (2 Assuming that the solution of (2 has the form u(r, θ, t = R(rΘ(θT(t, find the ordinary differential equations satisfied by the functions R(r, Θ(θ and T(t. 5

6 Question 6. (* The Neumann problem for the aplace equation in the interior of the circle r = a is given by u rr + 1 r u r + 1 r 2 u θθ =, r < a, θ < 2π u r (a, θ = f(θ, θ < 2π (a Using the method of separation of variables, find the solution to this problem. (b What condition should one impose on the function f(θ for this problem to be solvable? 6

7 Answer to Question 1. This is a first-order linear equation, so we can solve it using integrating factors. (You could also use something like method of undetermined coefficients, but this would be harder. We have the equation y y = 2xe x Multiplying both sides by e 1dx = e x, e x y e x y = 2x and then using the product rule, ( e x y = 2x Integrating both sides and then solving for y, (e x y dx = 2xdx Now we plug in the initial condition to find C: e x y = x 2 + C y = x 2 e x + Ce x y( = 2 (1 + C(1 = 1 C = 1 so the final answer is: y = x 2 e x + e x Answer to Question 2. (a Since this is an autonomous equation, we ll first look at the graph of dy dt (horizontal axis: (vertical axis vs y 7

8 The equilibria occur where this graph crosses the horizontal axis, these are the values of y where =. Solving for them, dy dy dt dt = y y3 = y(1 y 2 = y(1 y(1 + y = y =, 1, 1 To figure out whether these equilibrium solutions are stable, unstable, or semistable, we will look at the sign of dy dt nearby. For y = 1, we see that for values of y less than -1, dy dt if positive, so solutions are increasing. For values of y slightly greater than 1, we see dy dt is negative, so solutions are decreasing. Since solutions below y = 1 are increasing and solutions above are decreasing, we get that y = 1 is a stable equilibrium For y =, solutions slightly below are decreasing and solutions slightly above are increasing, so y = is an unstable equilibrium For y = 1, solutions slightly below are increasing and solutions slightly above are decreasing, so y = 1 is a stable equilibrium (b The phase line looks like: and the solutions look like: -1 1 y 8

9 Here the equilibria are in blue, and solutions are in red and black. If the initial condition is y( = 1 2, then the solution y(t will approach the nearest stable equilibrium at y = 1. This specific solution y(t is the one graphed in black above. Answer to Question 3. This equation can be solved by noticing that the right hand side can be written as a function of y/x only. Factoring x out of both the numerator and denominator, dy dx = x + 3y x y = x x ( 1 y x ( y x = ( y x 1 ( y x So this means that we can solve the equation by using the substitution v = y x which can also be written as y = vx Using the product rule, d dx [y] = d dv [vx] = dx dx x + v So our differential equation becomes This new equation is in fact separable: dv dx x + v = 1 + 3v 1 v dv dx x = 1 + 3v 1 + 2v + v2 v = = 1 v 1 v (1 v 1 (1 + v 2 dv = x dx (1 + v2 1 v This integral on the left hand side can be computed using partial fractions, but (in my opinion at least an easier way is to use another substitution of u = v + 1 Now we have Now, we undo the substitutions, (2 u 1 u 2 du = x dx ( 2 u du = u x dx 2 ln u = ln x + C u 2 ln v + 1 = ln x + C v y x + 1 ln y x + 1 = ln x + C 9

10 which can be simplified slightly to 2x x + y = ln x + ln y x C 2x + ln x + y = C x + y Answer to Question 4. The heat equation describing the temperature distribution of the rod is: u t = au xx The ends of the rod being insulated means that our boundary conditions are: u x (, t = u x (, t = So using separation of variables, we look for solutions of the form: u(x, t = X(xT(t Plugging this into the heat equation and separating variables, XT = ax T T at = X X Since the left hand side depends only on t and the right hand side depends only on x, they must both be equal to the same constant, which we will call λ: which gives us two ODEs for X(x and T(t: T at = X X = λ X + λx = T + aλt = We can also convert the boundary conditions on u(x, t into boundary conditions on X(x as follows: u x (, t = X (T(t = = X ( = u x (, t = X (T(t = = X ( = So we are looking for nontrivial solutions to the boundary value problem For λ <, we get only the trivial solution X =. For λ =, we get the general solution is: X + λx =, X ( = X ( = X(x = c 1 x + c 2 Plugging in the boundary conditions, we get that X(x = c 2 is a solution for any constant c 2. 1

11 For λ >, we get a general solution of: X(x = c 1 cos Plugging in the first boundary condition, ( ( λx + c 2 sin λx X ( = λc 1 sin( + λc 2 cos( = λc2 = c 2 = and the second boundary condition, looking for non-trivial solutions, X ( == ( λc 1 sin λ = ( sin λ = λ = nπ, n = 1, 2, 3... ( nπ 2 λ =, n = 1, 2, 3... So, along with λ =, these are the eigenvalues, and they have corresponding eigenfunctions: ( nπx X n (x = c n cos, n = 1, 2, 3... where c n could be any constant. Now to solve for T(t with these values of λ. For λ =, our equation for T is: T (t = the solutions to which are that T is constant. For λ = (nπ/ 2, our equation for T is: ( nπa 2 T + T = the solutions to which are: T n (t = c n e nπa ( 2 t So putting this together, our solution to the heat equation is: u(x, t = X n (xt n (t = c 2 + c n cos n= Plugging in the initial conditions, u(x, = c 2 + c n cos ( nπx = sin ( nπx e ( nπa 2 t, < x < So this means we want the c n to be given by the coefficients of the cosine series for sin(x. These are given by the formulas: c = 2 c n = 2 sin sin dx cos ( nπx dx 11

12 (Note: Many students are tempted to say here that these integrals are then zero because sin( and cos( are orthogonal. But really, they are just orthogonal on the interval [, ], whereas here we are only integrating on [, ], over which the integrals are not orthogonal. We can then compute c as follows: c = 2 sin c = 2 [ dx π cos ] c = 2 π [cos(π cos(] = 4 π The integral for c n is more difficult (and personally I would not expect students to be able to come up with it on their own during an exam. It can be done by using trig identities to change the product of trig functions into a sum. The angle addition formulas tell us that: ( (n + 1πx ( nπx ( nπx sin = sin cos + cos sin ( ( (n 1πx πx ( nπx ( πx ( nπx sin = sin cos + cos sin ( nπx ( nπx = sin cos + cos sin So we can combine the two equations above to get: [ ( ( ] 1 (n + 1πx (n 1πx sin sin = sin 2 cos ( nπx For the special case of c 1, this n 1 term will be zero, meaning we have to handle it on its own as follows: c 1 = 2 c 1 = 1 c 1 = 1 sin cos ( 2πx sin dx ( ] 2πx [ 2π cos dx = 1 [cos(2π cos(] = 2π 12

13 Now we can calculate the rest of the c n as: c n = 2 ( nπx sin cos dx, n = 2, 3, 4... c n = 1 [ ( ( ] (n + 1πx (n 1πx sin sin dx c n = 1 [ ( ( ] (n + 1πx (n + 1π cos (n 1πx + (n 1π cos 1 c n = (n + 1π [cos((n + 1π cos(] + 1 [cos((n 1π cos(] (n 1π 1 [ ] c n = ( 1 n+1 1 [ ] 1 + ( 1 n 1 1 (n + 1π (n 1π 2 [ ] c n = π(n 2 ( 1 n+1 1, n = 2, 3, Which we could rewrite all of the c n (including c and c 1 in the form: c n = which are the coefficients of the solution: {, n = odd 4 π(n 2 1, u(x, t = c 2 + c n cos n = even ( nπx e ( nπa (b If we look at our solution above, we see that we have a constant term in front, and all the other terms have some sort of negative exponential in t attached to them. So as t, all of those terms in the infinite sum will approach zero, leaving us with just the constant term. Formally, [ c lim u(x, t = lim t t 2 + c n cos ( nπx e ( nπa 2 t ] 2 t = 2 π + ( nπx [ c n cos lim e t nπa ( ] 2 t lim t u(x, t = 2 π is the steady state solution. (c At t =, the solution is given by the initial condition: u(x, = sin Over time, the solution will then steadily converge towards the steady state solution: lim t u(x, t = 2 π Because the ends are insulated, the total amount of heat (i.e. the average temperature will remain the same at all times t. So u(x, t will start out with the initial condition, and then smooth out to the constant steady-state solution. 13

14 Answer to Question 5. (a We look for a solution of the form u(x, y, t = X(xY(yT(t plugging this into the 2D wave equation, we get: dividing both sides by XYT, XYT = a 2 (X YT + XY T T T = a2 ( X X + Y Y Since the left hand side depends only on t, and the right hand side does not depend on t, both sides must be equal to the same constant λ: T T = a2 We can then use this to get an ODE for T(t: We also have the equation We can then isolate the X terms, getting: ( X X + Y = λ Y T λt = ( X a 2 X + Y = λ Y X X = λ a 2 Y Y since the left hand side depends only on x, and the right hand side depends only on y, they both must be equal to the same constant, which we will call µ: X X = λ a 2 Y Y = µ Which we can rearrange into the following ODEs for X(x and Y(y: (b We look for a solution of the form: X µx = ( λ Y a 2 µ Y = u(r, θ, t = R(rΘ(θT(t Plugging this into the PDE, we get: RΘT = a (R 2 ΘT + 1 r R ΘT + 1 r 2 RΘ T 14

15 Dividing everything by RΘT leaves: T T = a2 ( R R + 1 r R R + 1 Θ r 2 Θ Since the left hand side depends only on t, and the right hand side does not depend on t, both sides must be equal to the same constant, which we will call λ: T ( R T = a2 R + 1 R r R + 1 Θ r 2 = λ Θ From which we can isolate an ODE for T(t: Now, we are still left with: Multiplying everything by r2 a 2, Separating the r and θ terms, T λt = ( R a 2 R + 1 R r R + 1 Θ r 2 = λ Θ r 2 R R + rr R + Θ Θ = r2 λ a 2 r 2 R R + rr R r2 λ a 2 = Θ Θ Since the left hand side depends only on r, and the right hand side only on θ, they must equal the same constant µ: r 2 R R + rr R r2 λ a 2 = Θ Θ = µ From which we can get ODEs for R(r and Θ(θ: Θ + µθ = ( r r 2 R + rr 2 λ a 2 + µ R = Answer to Question 6. (a For the method of separation of variables, we look for solutions of the form: u(rθ = R(rΘ(θ Plugging this into aplace s equation in polar coordinates, R R + 1 R r R + 1 Θ r 2 Θ = Separating variables, r 2 R R + rr R = Θ Θ Since the left hand side depends only on r, and the right hand side only on θ, they both must be equal to the same constant λ: r 2 R R + rr R 15 = Θ Θ = λ

16 We can use this to get the following ODEs for R(r and Θ(θ: Θ + λθ = r 2 R + rr λr = In order for our solution to be well-defined in polar coordinates, we want to make sure that our solution is the same when we increase θ by 2π, as this is just traveling around a circle back to the same point. This means that u(r, θ should be periodic in θ with period 2π. More precisely, we need that for all angles θ: u(r, θ = u(r, θ + 2π R(rΘ(θ = R(rΘ(θ + 2π Θ(θ = Θ(θ + 2π This will serve in the role of boundary conditions for our ODE for Θ(θ. In other words, we are looking for non-trivial solutions to: For λ <, our solutions for Θ are of the form: In order for this to be periodic, and matching like terms, we would need that: Θ + λθ =, Θ(θ = Θ(θ + 2π Θ(θ = c 1 e λθ + c 2 e λθ Θ(θ = Θ(θ + 2π c λθ 1 e + c 2 e λθ = c 1 e λ(θ+2π + c 2 e λ(θ+2π c λθ 1 e + c 2 e λθ = c 1 e λθ e 2π λ + c 2 e λθ e 2π λ c 1 = c 1 e 2π λ and c 2 = c 2 e 2π λ This only happens when c 1 = c 2 =, which is the trivial solution. For λ =, our solutions for Θ are of the form: In order for this to be periodic, Θ(θ = c 1 + c 2 θ Θ(θ = Θ(θ + 2π c 1 + c 2 θ = c 1 + c 2 (θ + 2π c 1 + c 2 θ = c 1 + c 2 (2π + c 2 θ = c 2 (2π c 2 = So c 2 =, but c 1 could be any constant. This means that Θ (θ = c 1 works for any constant c 1. When λ =, the equation for R is: r 2 R + rr = 16

17 This is an Euler equation, so looking for solutions of the form R = r m, m(m 1 + m = m 2 = So we have a repeated root at m =. This corresponds to a solution of: R (r = c 1 + c 2 ln(r Since the natural logarithm is not defined at the origin r =, if we want our solution u to be defined at r =, we need to set c 2 =, leaving: R (r = c 1 So for λ =, we have that R can also be any constant. Thus we have an eigenvalue-eigenfunction pair of: λ =, u (r, θ = c 2 where c could be any constant (I m writing it this way since it will end up being useful later. For λ >, our solutions for Θ are of the form: ( ( Θ(θ = A cos λθ + B sin λθ In order for this to be periodic, ( A cos λθ + B sin Θ(θ = Θ(θ + 2π ( λθ = A cos ( λ(θ + 2π + B sin Using the angle addition trig identities, the right hand side becomes: [ ( ( = A cos λθ cos 2π ( ( λ sin λθ sin 2π ] [ λ +B sin ( λθ cos ( λ(θ + 2π ( 2π ( λ + sin 2π ( ] λ cos λθ Grouping together the terms by θ, [ ( = A cos 2π ( λ + B sin 2π ] ( [ ( λ cos λθ + B cos 2π ( λ A sin 2π ] ( λ sin λθ Comparing like terms, A and B should satisfy the equations: ( A = A cos 2π ( λ + B sin 2π λ ( B = B cos 2π ( λ A sin 2π λ This is always true for A = B =, but this corresponds to the trivial solution. However, for values of λ where the cosine term above is 1 and the sine term is, this would be true for any A and B. More precisely, we want the values of λ where: ( cos 2π λ = 1 = 2π λ = 2πn, n = 1, 2, 3... ( sin 2π λ = = 2π λ = πn, n = 1, 2,

18 Since we want both to be true, we take the more restrictive condition that: 2π λ = 2πn, n = 1, 2, 3... λ = n, n = 1, 2, 3... λ = n 2, n = 1, 2, 3... So these are our eigenvalues, and they have corresponding eigenfunctions: Θ n (θ = A cos (nθ + B sin (nθ, n = 1, 2, 3... Now we want to solve for R(r at these eigenvalues ( λ = n 2. We get an Euler equation: r 2 R + rr n 2 R = ooking for solutions of the form R = r m, we plug this in and solve for m: So R(r looks like: m(m 1 + m n 2 = m 2 n 2 = m 2 = n 2 m = ±n R n (r = Ar n + Br n However, because we want R to be defined at r =, we then take B =, leaving: R n (r = Ar n Putting this all together (and renaming some constants, our general solution is of the form: u(r, θ = R n (rθ n (θ n= u(r, θ = c 2 + r n[ A n cos(nθ + B n sin(nθ ] Now we still have to apply the Neumann boundary conditions. Taking the partial derivative with respect to r, u r (r, θ = nr n 1[ A n cos(nθ + B n sin(nθ ] Plugging in r = a, and setting it equal to f(θ u r (a, θ = na n 1[ A n cos(nθ + B n sin(nθ ] = f(θ, θ < 2π This means that we want u r (a, θ to match the Fourier series for f(θ on the interval [, 2π]. Using the formula for Fourier series coefficients, we get the following equations for A n and B n : na n 1 A n = 1 π na n 1 B n = 1 π 2π 2π f(θ cos(nθdθ f(θ sin(nθdθ 18

19 So our solution to the problem is: where the coefficients are given by: u(r, θ = c 2 + r n[ A n cos(nθ + B n sin(nθ ] A n = B n = 1 na n 1 π 1 na n 1 π 2π 2π c = any constant f(θ cos(nθdθ f(θ sin(nθdθ (b In our solution to part (a, when we were enforcing the boundary conditions on u r, we got to an equation of the form: u r (a, θ = na n 1[ A n cos(nθ + B n sin(nθ ] = f(θ, θ < 2π and then went on to take a Fourier series expansion of f(θ. However, Fourier series usually have a constant term c 2. While our formula for u(r, θ had this, when we took the derivative, this then makes sure that u r (r, θ does not have a constant term. So for this problem to be solvable, we would need the c 2 constant term of the Fourier series for f(θ to be zero. Rephrasing this in terms of a condition on f, 1 π 2π f(θdθ = 19
