1. Find the solution of the following PDEs through separation of variables:

(i) uxx u = 0, (ii) uxy +ux = 0, (iii) xuxy +2yu = 0, (iv) y 2 ux x2 uy = 0,
(v) ux 2ut = u, with u(x, 0) = 6e3x .
2. Solve the following PDEs by transforming into normal form:
(i)uxx + uxy 2uyy = 0, (ii) yuxx + (x + y)uxy + xuyy = 0,
(iii) uxx + 2uxy + uyy = 0, (iv) uxx 4uxy + 5uyy = 0.

6. The flat surface of a thin square plate of side with length 2 unit is perfectly
insulated and satisfies the boundary conditions : u = sin x on upper side and
zero on the other sides. Find steady-state solution (temperature).
7. A bar of length L, laterally insulated has its ends at A and B kept at 00 C and
u0 C respectively, until steady state conditions prevail. If the temperature at
B is suddenly reduced to 00 C and kept so, while that of A is maintained at
00 C. Find the temperature at a distance x from A at any time t.
