MA201- (Partial Differential Equation) July-November 2022

Tutorial - 3 Instructor: Dr. Pratibhamoy Das

1. Classify (Elliptic/Parabolic/Hyperbolic) the following second order PDEs:

(i) uxx +4uxy +4uyy −12uy +7u = x2 +y 2 , (ii) (x+1)uxx −2(x+2)uxy +(x+3)uyy = 0,
(iii) yuxx + (x + y)uxy + xuyy = 0.

2. Reduce the following equations to canonical form:


(i) uxx + 2uxy − 3uyy = 0, (ii) 4uxx + 5uxy + uyy + ux + uy = 2.

3. Reduce the following equations to canonical form and then solve:


(i) uxx + 4uxy + 3uyy = 0, (ii) uxx − 12uxy + 9uyy = e3x+2y ,
(iii) uxx + 2uxy + uyy = x2 + 3 sin(x − 4y).

4. Find the D’Alembert solution of one-dimensional Wave equation with the follow-
ing initial conditions:

(i) u(x, 0) = sin x, ut (x, 0) = 0, (ii) u(x, 0) = sin x, ut (x, 0) = cos x.

5. Find the solution of the Wave equation utt = c2 uxx , x ∈ R, t > 0, which satisfies
the conditions u(x, 0) = (1 + x2 )−1 and ut (x, 0) = sin x, for all x ∈ R.

6. Solve the Heat diffusion problem:



ut = αuxx ,
 0 < x < 1, t > 0,
u(0, t) = 0, u(1, t) + ux (1, t) = 0, t > 0,

u(x, 0) = f (x), 0 < x < 1.

7. Consider a string which has been stretched to infinity in both directions with the
initial displacement ϕ(x) = 1/(1+4x2 ) and released from rest. Find its subsequent
motion as a function of x and t.
8. Find the temperature u(x, t) in a bar of length l which is perfectly insulated, also
at both ends x = 0 and x = l such that ux (0, t) = ux (l, t) = 0, and the initial
temperature in the bar is u(x, 0) = f (x). Also, find the temperature in the bar,
given l = π, α = 1, for (i) f (x) = 1, (ii) f (x) = x2 .

9. A thin rod of length lcm long, with insulated sides, has its ends A and B kept at
ao C and bo C respectively until steady state conditions prevail. The temperature
at A is then suddenly raised to co C and at the same time, at B is lowered to do C.
Find the temperature distribution u(x, t) subsequently. For modeling purpose,
take the end A as origin.

10. Assume that a thin membrane is stretched over a rectangular frame of length
a, breadth b where the edges are held fixed and initial shape of the membrane is
governed by the function f (x, y). Now, the membrane is set to vibrate by displacing
it vertically and releasing it, with the initial velocity g(x, y). As you know that
the vibration of the membrane satisfies the two dimensional Wave equation. There
the governing PDE with initial and boundary conditions will be:
PDE : utt = c2 (uxx + uyy ), 0 < x < a, 0 < y < b and 0 < t < ∞,
BCs : u(0, y, t) = 0, u(a, y, t) = 0, u(x, b, t) = 0 0 < t < ∞,
ICs : u(x, y, 0) = f (x, y) and ut (x, y, 0) = g(x, y), 0 < x < a, 0 < y < b.
Find the solution u(x, y, t) using method of separation of variables.
