Paper for above instructions

The assignment focuses on various problems on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) pertinent to the topics studied in Math 2065. Thus, a thorough understanding involves utilizing methods to solve PDEs, including separation of variables, Fourier series, and transforms. Below is an organized articulation of the solutions for each of the problems outlined in the assignment.

Problem 1: Heat Equation

The heat equation is given as:
\[
\partial_t u = \partial^2_x u, \quad 0 < x < \pi, t > 0
\]
with boundary conditions \( u(0, t) = 0 \) and \( \partial_x u(\pi, t) = 0 \), along with initial condition \( u(x, 0) = f(x) \).
1. General Solution:
To find the general solution, we assume a separable solution in the form \( u(x,t) = X(x)T(t) \).
Substituting into the heat equation leads us to a separation of variables and eigenvalue problems. From inspection of boundary conditions, we find that:
\[
X_n(x) = \sin\left(\frac{(2n + 1)}{2}x\right)
\]
The time-dependent part will have the form:
\[
T_n(t) = e^{-\lambda_n t}
\]
where the eigenvalues \( \lambda_n \) are obtained from the boundary conditions leading to \( \lambda_n = \left(\frac{(2n + 1)}{2}\right)^2 \).
Combining, we derive:
\[
u(x, t) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n \sin\left(\frac{(2n + 1)}{2}x\right) e^{-\lambda_n t}
\]
Thus,
\[
u(x, t) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} A_n \sin\left(\frac{(2n + 1)}{2}x\right) e^{-\left(\frac{(2n + 1)}{2}\right)^2 t}
\]
2. Coefficients \( A_n \):
To find \( A_n \), we employ the orthogonality of sine functions:
\[
A_n = \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^{\pi} f(x) \sin\left(\frac{(2n + 1)}{2}x\right) dx
\]

Problem 2: Laplace's Equation for an Annulus

The equation is given in polar coordinates:
\[
\frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial r^2} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial v}{\partial r} + \frac{1}{r^2}\frac{\partial^2 v}{\partial \theta^2} = 0
\]
with boundaries \( v(1, \theta) = \sin(4\theta) - \cos(\theta) \) and \( v(2, \theta) = -\sin(3\theta) + 3\cos^2(\theta)\sin(\theta) \).
Using separation of variables, \( v(r, \theta) = R(r)\Theta(\theta) \), results in:
- Angular part: \( \Theta(\theta) = C_n e^{in\theta} \)
- Radial part: Solving a Bessel-type equation leads to:
\[
R(r) = A_n + \frac{B_n}{r}
\]
The complete solution would involve matching boundary conditions at both radii, creating a solution built from the linear combination of solutions satisfying the general form:
\[
v(r, \theta) = A + \sum_{n} \left( A_n r^n + \frac{B_n}{r^{n}} \right) \Theta(\theta)
\]

Problem 3: Fourier Series

1. Extend \( f(x) = x \) to an Even Function \( F(x) \):
The function \( F(x) \) can be expressed as:
\[
F(x) = \begin{cases}
x & 0 < x < \pi \
-x & -\pi < x < 0
\end{cases}
\]
The Fourier coefficients \( a_n \) can be calculated:
\[
a_n = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} F(x) \cos(nx) dx = 0
\]
\[
b_n = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} F(x) \sin(nx) dx
\]
The resulting Fourier series will provide \( F(x) \) in terms of sine terms.
2. Compare with Odd Function \( G(x) \):
Extend using properties of odd functions leads to similar calculations with different integrations, providing series for \( G(x) \).
3. Gibbs Phenomenon:
Study shows that partial sums:
\[
f_{2n-1}(x) = \frac{4}{\pi} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{\sin((2k + 1)x)}{(2k + 1)}
\]
with properties of convergence around discontinuities leading to the limitation of overshooting observed.

Problem 4: Fourier Transform

Given:
\[
\partial_t u = \partial^2_x u - u
\]
Taking the Fourier transform, leads to:
\[
\partial_t \hat{u} = -(\xi^2 + 1)\hat{u}, \quad \hat{u}(\xi, 0) = \hat{v}(\xi)
\]
With solutions involving exponential decay, uncovering \( u(x, t) \) retrieves:
\[
u(x, t) = F^{-1}\left[\hat{v}(\xi)e^{-(\xi^2 + 1)t}\right]
\]
