In response #38 you have calculated the general form of u(x) and you want to calculate the validity of that solution. Given bdy conditions arethank
how to do that?
According to Mrs. Alpha, the solution is:homegenous solution
\(\displaystyle u(x) = c_1e^{2x} + c_2e^{-2x}\)
particular solution
\(\displaystyle u(x) = a_0\)
\(\displaystyle 0 - 4u_0 = 1\)
\(\displaystyle u_0 = \frac{-1}{4}\)
general solution
\(\displaystyle u(x) = c_1e^{2x} + c_2e^{-2x} - \frac{1}{4}\)
first condition
\(\displaystyle 0 = c_1e^{0} + c_2e^{0} - \frac{1}{4}\)
\(\displaystyle c_1 + c_2 = \frac{1}{4}\)
second condition
\(\displaystyle 0 = c_1e^{2} + c_2e^{-2} - \frac{1}{4}\)
\(\displaystyle c_2 = \frac{1}{4} - c_1\)
\(\displaystyle 0 = c_1e^{2} + (\frac{1}{4} - c_1)e^{-2} - \frac{1}{4}\)
\(\displaystyle 0 = c_1e^{2} + \frac{1}{4}e^{-2} - c_1e^{-2} - \frac{1}{4}\)
\(\displaystyle -\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4} = c_1e^{2} - c_1e^{-2}\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4}}{e^{2} - e^{-2}} = c_1\)
\(\displaystyle c_2 = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4}}{e^{2} - e^{-2}}\)
\(\displaystyle u(x) = (\frac{-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4}}{e^{2} - e^{-2}})e^{2x} + (\frac{1}{4} - \frac{-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4}}{e^{2} - e^{-2}})e^{-2x} - \frac{1}{4}\)
i'm very good in algebraUsing ALGEBRA - most of the time!!
can you please show me how you'll do it to post 31?In response #38 you have calculated the general form of u(x) and you want to calculate the validity of that solution. Given bdy conditions are
u(0)=u(1)=0
So calculate u(0) and u(1) → do those match given bdy. condition u(0)=u(1)=0? .....................................(1)
If those do not match - then you have made a mistake somewhere. In that case, start over.
Now derive u'(x) and u"(x) ← use those in given original DE . Does u(x) satisfy the given DE? .............(2)
If the answers to both (1) & (2) are affirmative, then most probably your solution is correct.
thank very much mario99According to Mrs. Alpha, the solution is:
[imath]\displaystyle u(x) = -\frac{-e^{2-2x}-e^{2x} + 1 + e^{2}}{4 + 4e^{2}}[/imath]
Let us compare this with your solution. According to Mrs. Alpha, your solution is:
[imath]\displaystyle u(x) = \left(\frac{-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4}}{e^{2} - e^{-2}}\right)e^{2x} + \left(\frac{1}{4} - \frac{-\frac{1}{4}e^{-2} + \frac{1}{4}}{e^{2} - e^{-2}}\right)e^{-2x} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{e^{2x} + e^{2(1-x)} - 1 - e^{2}}{4(1 + e^{2})}[/imath]
which is the same as the first solution. Bravo
Now, let us use our green function solution in post #31. Notice that [imath]a = 0, b = 1, \ \text{and} \ f(s) = 1[/imath]. According to Mrs. Alpha, the solution is:
[imath]\displaystyle u(x) = \int_{a}^{b} G(x,s) f(s) \ ds = \int_{0}^{1} G(x,s) \ ds[/imath]
[imath]\displaystyle = -\frac{1}{2\sinh(2[1 - 0])} \left(\int_{0}^{x} \sinh(2[1 - x])\sinh(2[s - 0]) \ ds + \int_{x}^{1} \sinh(2[x - 0])\sinh(2[1 - s]) \ ds\right)[/imath]
[imath]\displaystyle = \frac{(e^{x} - e^{2 - x}) \sinh(x)}{2 (1 + e^{2})} = \frac{e^{2-2x} + e^{2x} - 1 - e^{2}}{4(1 + e^{2})}[/imath]
You can even solve this integral by hand if you want. The conclusion is that our green function solution is correct. If you notice that our green function solution [imath]G(x,s)[/imath] is independent from the source function [imath]f(s)[/imath] which makes it so powerful to solve instantly any nonhomogeneous differential equation of this type [imath]u''(x) - k^2u(x) = f(x)[/imath], [imath]a < x < b[/imath].
It will take some time to understand what this does mean, but this is the main idea of Green Function in differential equations.
Show you variation of parameters?! Do you mean that you wanna solve the OP by variation of parameters?thank very much mario99
i think i'm understanding. your solution is correct. can you please show me variation of parameters?
