A building consists of two zones A and B (see Figure 5.5). Only zone A is heated by a furnace, which generates 80,000 Btu/hr. The heat capacity of zone A is per thousand Btu. The time constant for heat transfer between zone A and the outside is 4 hr, between the unheated zone B and the outside is 5 hr, and between the two zones is 2 hr. If the outside temperature stays at , how cold does it eventually get in the unheated zone B?

Show that the Poincare map for equation (1) is not chaoticby showing that if\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{)}}\)and\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{o}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{o}}{\bf{)}}\)are two initial values that define the Poincare maps\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}\) and\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{n}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{n}}{\bf{)}}\), respectively, using the recursive formulas in (3), then one can make the distance between\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{)}}\)and\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{n}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{n}}{\bf{)}}\)small by making the distance between\({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{)}}\) and \({\bf{(}}{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{o}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{\nu }}^{\bf{*}}}_{\bf{o}}{\bf{)}}\)small. (Hint: Let \({\bf{(A,}}\phi {\bf{)}}\)and \({\bf{(}}{{\bf{A}}^{\bf{*}}}{\bf{,}}{\phi ^ * }{\bf{)}}\) be the polar coordinates of two points in the plane. From the law of cosines, it follows that the distance d between them is given by\({{\bf{d}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ = (A - }}{{\bf{A}}^{\bf{*}}}{{\bf{)}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ + 2A}}{{\bf{A}}^{\bf{*}}}{\bf{(1 - cos(}}\phi {\bf{ - }}{\phi ^ * }{\bf{))}}\).)
Sturm–Liouville Form. A second-order equation is said to be in Sturm–Liouville form if it is expressed as . Show that the substitutions result in the normal form . If are the initial values for the Sturm–Liouville problem, what are ?
In Problems 19–24, convert the given second-order equation into a first-order system by setting v=y’. Then find all the critical points in the yv-plane. Finally, sketch (by hand or software) the direction fields, and describe the stability of the critical points (i.e., compare with Figure 5.12).
