1 Solutions of differential equations using transforms Process: Take transform of equation and boundary/initial conditions in one variable. Derivatives are turned into multiplication operators. Solve (hopefully easier) problem in k variable. Inverse transform to recover solution, often as a convolution integral.

2 Ordinary differential equations: example 1 u + u = f (x), lim u(x) = 0. x

3 Ordinary differential equations: example 1 u + u = f (x), lim u(x) = 0. x Transform using the derivative rule, giving k 2 û(k) + û(k) = ˆf (k). Just an algebraic equation, whose solution is û(k) = ˆf (k) 1 + k 2.

4 Ordinary differential equations: example 1 u + u = f (x), lim u(x) = 0. x Transform using the derivative rule, giving k 2 û(k) + û(k) = ˆf (k). Just an algebraic equation, whose solution is û(k) = ˆf (k) 1 + k 2. Inverse transform of product of ˆf (k) and 1/(1 + k 2 ) is convolution: ( ) 1 u(x) = f (x) 1 + k 2 = 1 e x y f (y)dy. 2 But where was far field condition used?

6 Ordinary differential equations: example 2 Example 2. The Airy equation is u xu = 0, lim u(x) = 0. x Transform leads to k 2 û(k) iû (k) = 0.

7 Ordinary differential equations: example 2 Example 2. The Airy equation is u xu = 0, lim u(x) = 0. x Transform leads to k 2 û(k) iû (k) = 0. Solve by separation of variables: dû/û = ik 2 dk integrates to û(k) = Ce ik 3 /3.

8 Ordinary differential equations: example 2 Example 2. The Airy equation is u xu = 0, lim u(x) = 0. x Transform leads to k 2 û(k) iû (k) = 0. Solve by separation of variables: dû/û = ik 2 dk integrates to û(k) = Ce ik 3 /3. Inverse transform is u(x) = C 2π exp(i[kx + k 3 /3])dk. With the choice C = 1 get the Airy function.
