Q1.
Prove that
as
Show that the series does not converge.
Solution:
=
=
0∞
Put (n + 1) = - m
So,
0∞
Now,
=
= [where M is a huge number]
This is an alternating series almost close to 1.
Now we test the convergence of the series.
Let Be the mth term of the series.
=
So, by ratio test, the series is not convergent.
Q2.
Obtain a one-term approximation for
I(x) =
as .
Solution:
I(x) =
=
=
=
=
[Let
]
=
=
= 0∞
For n = 0, the first term of the series is 2.
Q3.
Obtain two-term approximation for to the Laplace’s integral
As in the standard case - a problem we started in class. What is the leading-order approximation in the case f(c) = 0? Explain the error made in the intuitive calculation made in class.
Solution:
The Laplace’s integral is
The Laplace transform existence theorem states that if f(t) is piecewise continuous on every finite interval in [0, ∞] satisfying |f(t)|
ab
The two approximations of I(x) as can be written as
At x = c, f(c) = 0
The leading approximation =
As the other terms like becomes smaller.
The error made when we put |f(t)|.
Q4.
Obtain a two-term approximation for the Laplace’s integral as , for the maximum of ϕ is realized at an endpoint, say a, with ϕ.
Solution:
The Laplace integral is
As from Q3., we have
I(x)
Also, for the case where the maximum of is realized at an endpoint, say a, with ϕ.
