Our physical interval of interest is 0< x <1. The BCs for both equations are
u(0, t)=1, u(1, t)=1.
a)
(35 pointe) Without yet applying any initial condition or conditions, write, for each equation *) and
(4) the general solution that satisfies the BCs.
b)
(10 points) Now apply the IC u(x,0)=1+0.5sin2x and solve the appropriate equation, giving
your final solution. Do not solve the problem for which this TC. is inappropriate.
c)(5 points) Draw the evolution in time of the final solution. Write the scales on the axes. Does it or does it not approach a steady state? Describe the equation and solution physics.
