Consider the boundary value problem $$ r(x) u_{t}=\left[p(x) u_{x}\right]_{x}-q(x) u+F(x) $$ $$ u(0, t)=T_{1}, \quad u(1, t)=T_{2}, \quad u(x, 0)=f(x) $$ (a) Let \(v(x)\) be a solution of the problem $$ \left[p(x) v^{\prime}\right]-q(x) v=-F(x), \quad v(0)=T_{1}, \quad v(1)=T_{2} $$ If \(w(x, t)=u(x, t)-v(x),\) find the boundary value problem satisfied by \(w\), Note that this problem can be solved by the method of this section. (b) Generalize the procedure of part (a) to the case \(u\) satisfies the boundary conditions $$ u_{x}(0, t)-h_{1} u(0, t)=T_{1}, \quad u_{x}(1, t)+h_{2} u(1, t)=T_{2} $$
In the circular cylindrical coordinates \(r, \theta, z\) defined by $$ x=r \cos \theta, \quad y=r \sin \theta, \quad z=z $$ Laplace's equation is $$ u_{r r}+(1 / r) u_{r}+\left(1 / r^{2}\right) u_{\theta \theta}+u_{z z}=0 $$ (a) Show that if \(u(r, \theta, z)=R(r) \Theta(\theta) Z(z),\) then \(R, \Theta,\) and \(Z\) satisfy the ordinary differential equations $$ \begin{aligned} r^{2} R^{\prime \prime}+r R^{\prime}+\left(\lambda^{2} r^{2}-n^{2}\right) R &=0 \\ \Theta^{\prime \prime}+n^{2} \Theta &=0 \\\ Z^{\prime \prime}-\lambda^{2} Z &=0 \end{aligned} $$ (b) Show that if \(u(r, \theta, z)\) is independent of \(\theta,\) then the first equation in part (a) becomes $$ r^{2} R^{\prime \prime}+r R^{\prime}+\lambda^{2} r^{2} R=0 $$ the second is omitted altogether, and the third is unchanged.
Consider the problem $$ y^{\prime \prime}+\lambda y=0, \quad y(0)=0, \quad y^{\prime}(L)=0 $$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { Show that if } \phi_{\infty} \text { and } \phi_{n} \text { are eigenfunctions, corresponding to the eigenvalues } \lambda_{m} \text { and } \lambda_{n},} \\ {\text { respectively, with } \lambda_{m} \neq \lambda_{n} \text { , then }}\end{array} $$ $$ \int_{0}^{L} \phi_{m}(x) \phi_{n}(x) d x=0 $$ $$ \text { Hint. Note that } $$ $$ \phi_{m}^{\prime \prime}+\lambda_{m} \phi_{m}=0, \quad \phi_{n}^{\prime \prime}+\lambda_{n} \phi_{n}=0 $$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { Multiply the first of these equations by } \phi_{n}, \text { the second by } \phi_{m}, \text { and integrate from } 0 \text { to } L,} \\ {\text { using integration by parts. Finally, subtract one equation from the other. }}\end{array} $$
In this problem we consider a higher order eigenvalue problem. In the study of transverse vibrations of a uniform elastic bar one is led to the differential equation $$ y^{\mathrm{w}}-\lambda y=0 $$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { where } y \text { is the transverse displacement and } \lambda=m \omega^{2} / E I ; m \text { is the mass per unit length of }} \\\ {\text { the rod, } E \text { is Young's modulus, } I \text { is the moment of inertia of the cross section about an }} \\ {\text { axis through the centroid perpendicular to the plane of vibration, and } \omega \text { is the frequency of }} \\ {\text { vibration. Thus for a bar whose material and geometric properties are given, the eigenvalues }} \\ {\text { determine the natural frequencies of vibration. Boundary conditions at each end are usually }} \\ {\text { one of the following types: }}\end{array} $$ $$ \begin{aligned} y=y^{\prime} &=0, \quad \text { clamped end } \\ y=y^{\prime \prime} &=0, \quad \text { simply supported or hinged end, } \\ y^{\prime \prime}=y^{\prime \prime \prime} &=0, \quad \text { free end } \end{aligned} $$ $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { For each of the following three cases find the form of the eigenfunctions and the equation }} \\ {\text { satisfied by the eigenvalues of this fourth order boundary value problem. Determine } \lambda_{1} \text { and }} \\ {\lambda_{2}, \text { the two eigenvalues of smallest magnitude. Assume that the eigenvalues are real and }} \\ {\text { positive. }}\end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{ll}{\text { (a) } y(0)=y^{\prime \prime}(0)=0,} & {y(L)=y^{\prime \prime}(L)=0} \\ {\text { (b) } y(0)=y^{\prime \prime}(0)=0,} & {y(L)=y^{\prime \prime}(L)=0} \\ {\text { (c) } y(0)=y^{\prime}(0)=0,} & {y^{\prime \prime}(L)=y^{\prime \prime \prime}(L)=0 \quad \text { (cantilevered bar) }}\end{array} $$
The wave equation in polar coordinates is $$ u_{r r}+(1 / r) u_{r}+\left(1 / r^{2}\right) u_{\theta \theta}=a^{-2} u_{t t} $$ Show that if \(u(r, \theta, t)=R(r) \Theta(\theta) T(t),\) then \(R, \Theta,\) and \(T\) satisfy the ordinary differential equations $$ \begin{aligned} r^{2} R^{\prime \prime}+r R^{\prime}+\left(\lambda^{2} r^{2}-n^{2}\right) R &=0 \\ \Theta^{\prime \prime}+n^{2} \Theta &=0 \\\ T^{\prime \prime}+\lambda^{2} a^{2} T &=0 \end{aligned} $$
