Please do Problems 49, 50, 58 and 61 rst. Problems 54 and 55 have been removed
from the original list of problems. Problems 3638 and 60 are optional yet useful; the
corresponding material of Sec. 5.8 will be discussed in class.
when = (n/l)2 (n = 1, 2, . . .), where An is the nth coeent in the expansion h(x) =
nx
n=1 An sin l (0 < x < l), assuming that h(x) is piecewise dierentiable in (0, l).
Solution. The strategy is to express the solution as y = an n (x) where n (x) are the
d2 y
characteristic functions of the homogeneous
equation dx2
+ y = 0. Then ( n )an = An
where An are the coecients of h(x) = An n (x).
d2 y
First we will solve the homogeneous equation dx 2 + y = 0, y(0) = y(l) = 0. So
y(x) = C1 sin( x) + C2 cos( x)
and y(0) = 0 C2 = 0
and y(l) = 0 C1 sin( x) = 0
sin( x) = 0

So since were given that = n l , n > 0, this means that = n so an = n

and the An are the coecients in the expresion of h(x) = n=1 An sin l , 0 < x < l.
Thus, indeed in this case

y(x) = an n (x) = sin (0 x l).

h(x) in order that the problem dx 2 + l2 y = h(x), y(0) = y(l) = 0 possesses a solution,
when
p is a positive integer, and express the corresponding most general solution as a series
an sin(nx/l).

Solution. = p l2 = p so since ( n )an = An and = p Ap = 0. But
l l
Ap = 0 h(x)p (x) dx. Hence, 0 h(x) sin px

and also show that to this solution can be added any constant
multiple of sin(rx/l).

(c) The nonuniqueness of the solution is accounted for by remembering that the gen
eral solution of a second order nonhomogeneous dierential equation is of the form y =
yparticular + yhomogeneous . Now in the rst part of (b) we found a particular solution, so we
should be able to add the homogeneous solution to it and still be a solution. But from the
solution of Problem 36, the homogeneous solution is y homogeneous = C1 sin rx l . Thus the
general solution is
y = yparticular + yhomogeneous
