  1. [18] (a) Carefully construct a branch of the function

g(z) = [z(1 − z)]^1 /^2

with a branch cut on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 such that g( 12 (1 + i)) = − √^12.

  1. [18] (a) Find the image of the upper half z−plane (y ≥ 0) under the conformal mapping s = f(z)

s = ξ + iη = f (z) =

z − i z + i

(b) Find the image of the interior of the unit circle in the s− plane under the conformal mapping w = g(s)

w = u + iv = g(s) = s (1 − s)^2

[Hint: first show that the image of the circle is real.]

(c) Simplify the combined mapping, defining G(z)

w = u + iv = g(f (z)) = G(z). (1)

(d) What is the complex potential F (z) of a uniform flow parallel to the x− axis in the upper half z− plane? Use the above mapping to find the image of this uniform flow in the w− plane defined by (1). Represent the images parametrically as u(t), v(t), then eliminate v to give the streamlines in the form u = H(v). Sketch several curves.

5. [18]

(a) Find the Fourier transform, justify all steps carefully

g(x) = e−|x|, − ∞ < x < ∞.

(b) Use a Fourier transform to solve

utt + 2ut + u = uxx, − ∞ < x < ∞, 0 < t, u(x, 0) = e−|x|, ut(x, 0) = 0, − ∞ < x < ∞.

Write the solution in the form

u(x, t) =

6. [18]

(c) Use a Laplace transform to find the solution to the problem:
