web.stanford.eduusing the method of separation of variables to solve (2.2). Recall that in order for a function of the form u(x;t) = X(x)T(t) to be a solution of the heat equation on an interval I ‰ R which satisfies given boundary conditions, we need X to be a solution of the eigenvalue problem, ‰ X00 = ¡‚X x 2 I X satisfies certain BCs

math.berkeley.eduIn Problems 1 and 3, determine whether the method of separation of variables can be used to replace the given partial differential equation by a pair of ordinary differential equations. If so, find the equations. 1. xu xx +u t = 0 This is separable. We try u(x,t) = X(x)T(t) and get u xx = X00(x)T(t) and u t = X(x)T0(t).
ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
users.math.msu.edufunctions. We provide a brief introduction to boundary value problems, Sturm-Liouville problems, and Fourier Series expansions. We end these notes solving our rst partial di erential equation, the Heat Equation. We use the method of separation of variables, hence solutions to the partial di erential equation are obtained solving in nitely many
Separation of Variables - University of Arizona
www.math.arizona.eduThere are actually hidden boundary conditions when using polar coordinates. The first is that the solution should be finite at r= 0; we will note that some of our separated solutions do not have this property. The second is that solutions should be 2ˇ-periodic in , since = 0 and = 2ˇare the same coordinate.
