Differential Equations Review

  1. (a) Suppose ~xp solves A~x = ~b, and that ~xh is in ker A.

Then A (~xp + ~xh) =

The general solution to A~x = ~b is then ~xp+

(b) Find the general solution to f ′′(t) + 3f ′(t) − 4 f (t) = cos(t)

(c) Find the general solution to f ′′(t) + 3f ′(t) − 4 f (t) = t

(d) Find the general solution to f ′′(t) + 3f ′(t) − 4 f (t) = et

  1. (a) Let ~u 1 =

√^1 3 − √^13 √^1 3

,^ ~u 2 =

√^1 12 √ 2 0

, ~u 3 =

− √^16

√^1 26 √ 6

 Is^ {~u 1 , ~u 2 , ~u 3 }^ an orthonormal basis of^ R^3? Explain.

(b) Write ~v =

 (^) as a linear combination c 1 ~u 1 + c 2 ~u 2 + c 3 ~u 3 of the ~uj ’s.

~v = ~u 1 + ~u 2 + ~u 3

(c) Verify that |~v|^2 = c^21 + c^22 + c^23

(d) Let

f (x) =

− 1 −π ≤ x < 0 1 0 ≤ x ≤ π

Find a Fourier series for f (x).

(e) Using your answer from (d), evaluate both sides of Parseval’s identity.

  1. (a) Let A =

[

]

. Let B = A^3 + 2A + I.

Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of B. (You can use your work from #3(a).)

(b) Denote Df = fx Show that { √^12 , cos(nx), sin(nx)} are eigenfunctions of D^2. What are the corresponding eigenvalues?

(c) Use your answer to (b) to find eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of D^4 − 3 D^2 + 1. (Notation: (D^4 − 3 D^2 + 1)f = fxxxx − 3 fxx + f .)

(d) Solve ft = fxxxx − 3 fxx + f on 0 ≤ x ≤ π, with boundary conditions f (0, t) = f (π, t) = 0 and initial condition f (x, 0) = 2 sin(x) + 7 sin(3x)

  1. (a) Solve the wave equation ftt = fxx on 0 ≤ x ≤ π, with boundary conditions f (0, t) = f (π, t) = 0 and initial conditions f (x, 0) = sin(x), ft(x, 0) = 0

(b) Vibrating springs usually experience damping due to air resistance and other dissipation. An example of a damped wave equation is ftt + ft = fxx.

Solve this damped wave equation on 0 ≤ x ≤ π, with boundary conditions f (0, t) = f (π, t) = 0 and initial conditions f (x, 0) = sin(x), ft(x, 0) = 0.

Compare with your answer from (a).
