Verify the operator equations in (11.19) not done in text.

Hintsfor (a) and (b): Follow the text method of proof of (c), making the change of variable u=-xoru=a-x. Hints for (c) and (d): Split the integral into a sum of integrals each including just one xi. In (d), what is the value of (x − a) when x is in the vicinity of b? Use part (c).

01

Given information

(a) δ(x-a)=δ(a-x).

(b) δ'(x-a)=-δ'(a-x).

Definition of Functional Operator

A function operator is a function that takes one (or more) functions as input and returns a function as output. In some ways, function operators are similar to functional

03

(a) Verify the δ(x-a)=δ(a-x)

Let

u=-xdu=-dx.

Now, let u=a-x.

Thendu=-dx.

∫ϕ(x)δ(a-x)dx=∫ϕ(a-u)δ(u)(-du)=∫ϕ(a-u)δ(u)(du)=∫-d'(a-u)u(u)du

Solve further

=-∫0ϕ'(a-u)duϕ(a)=-∫ϕ'(x)dx=-∫ϕ'(x)u(x-a)dx=∫ϕ(x)δ(x-a)dx

That is,δ(x-a)=δ(a-x) .

04

(b) Verify the δ'(x-a)=-δ'(a-x)

Solve the

δ'(-x)=-δ'(x)andδ'(x-a)=-δ'(a-x).

∫ϕ(x)xδ'(-x)dx=∫ϕ(-u)(-u)=∫ϕ(-u)uδ'(u)du=-∫ϕ(-u)δ(u)du=∫ϕ(x)δ(x)dx

Solve further

=∫ϕ(x)-xδ˙'(x)dx=∫ϕ(x)x-δ'(x)dx

So,δ'(-x)=-δ'(x).

Now,

∫ϕ(x)-δ'(a-x)dx=-∫ϕ(x)δ'(a-x)dx=-∫ϕ(a-u)δ'(u)(-du)(Assumeu=a-x)=-∫ϕ(a-u)δ'(u)(du)=-(-1)1-ϕ'(a-u)x-0-ϕ'(a)=∫ϕ(x)δ'(x-a)dx

=∫ϕ(x)δ'(x-a)dx

That is,δ'(x-a)=-δ'(a-x)

05

(c) Verify the δ(ax)=1|a|δ(x),a≠0.

Ifa<0, assumea=-b,b>0.

Then,

u=axu=-bxdu=-bdxdx=dx-b.

After solve the equation

∫ϕ(x)δ(-bx)dx=∫ϕu-bδ=-1b∫ϕu-bδ(u)du=1b∫ϕu-bδ(u)du

By solve further

=1bϕ(0)=1|=|ϕ(0)=1|a|∫ϕ(x)δ(x)dx=∫ϕ(x)1|a|δ(x)dx

If a>0, assume u=ax.

Then,

u=axdu=adxdx=duu

So,

∫ϕ(x)δ(ax)dx=∫ϕuaδ(u)dua

06

(d) Verify the δ[(x-a)(x-b)]=1|a-b|[δ(x-a)+δ(x-b)],(a≠b)

Assume a<b.

The function g(x)=(x-a)(x-b)is upward parabola crossing -axis at x=aand x=b.

Then, it can be written as:

Now, differentiate this function to get,

u'[(x-a)(x-b)](2x-a-b)=0-u'(x-a)+u'(x-b)a'[(x-a)(x-b)]=z'(x-a)u'(x-b)(x-b-b)δ[(x-a)(x-b)]=-g(s-a)+d(x-b)[2x-b-b]

Thus,

width="360">δ[(x-a)(x-b)]=1|a-b|[δ(x-a)+δ(x-b)],(a≠b)

07

(d) Verify the δ∣f(x)]=∑iδ(x-xi)|f'(x)|

Assume f(x)=ax-x1x-x2⋯x-xnwith x1<x2<…<xn.

Then,

By differentiating

f'(x)u'(f(x))=±u'x-x1-u'x-x2+…-(-1)nu'x-xnf'(x)δ(f(x))=±δx-x1-δx-x2+…-(-1)nδx-xnδ(f(x))=±∣zx-x1dx-x2+…-(-1)ndx-x3f'(x)

Therefore,

That is, δ[f(x)]=∑iδx-xif'(x)if fxi=0and f'xi≠0.

Use the methods of this section to solve the following differential equations. Compare computer solutions and reconcile differences.

y'=yx-tanyx

Solve by use of Fourier series. Assume in each case that the right-hand side is a periodic function whose values are stated for one period.

y"+2y'+2y=|x|,-Ï€<x<Ï€.

(a)Consider a light beam travelling downward into the ocean. As the beam progresses, it is partially absorbed and its intensity decreases. The rate at which the intensity is decreasing with depth at any point is proportional to the intensity at that depth. The proportionality constant μis called the linear absorption coefficient. Show that if the intensity at the surface is I0, the intensity at a distance s below the surface is I=I0eμs. The linear absorption coefficient for water is of the order of 10.2ft.1(the exact value depending on the wavelength of the light and the impurities in the water). For this value of μ, find the intensity as a fraction of the surface intensity at a depth of 1 ft, ft,ft,mile. When the intensity of a light beam has been reduced to half its surface intensity (I=12I0), the distance the light has penetrated into the absorbing substance is called the half-value thickness of the substance. Find the half-value thickness in terms of μ. Find the half-value thickness for water for the value of μgiven above.

(b) Note that the differential equation and its solution in this problem are mathematically the same as those in Example 1, although the physical problem and the terminology are different. In discussing radioactive decay, we call λthe decay constant, and we define the half-life T of a radioactive substance as the time when N=12N0(compare half-value thickness). Find the relation between λand T.

Using thefunction method, find the response (see Problem fig) of each of the following systems to a unit impulse.

y"+2y'+10y=δ(t-t0)

Show that∫-∞∞fn(t)dt=1for the functionsfn(t)in Figures 11.3 and 11.4.
