1. The inner product in the vector space of real functions in the interval 0 < x < 1 is defined by
(f, g) =
Z 1
0
f (x)g(x)dx.
Let the functions 1 (x), 2 (x), 3 (x), be an orthogonal (not necessarily orthonormal) basis of
this space and let f (x) be a known function in this set.
(a) Derive a formula for the coefficient an of the expansion
f (x) = a1 1 (x) + a2 2 (x) + a3 3 (x) + ,
0 < x < 1,
(no credit for writing the formula from memory)
(b) Given a second real function, and now assuming that the basis is ORTHONORMAL,
g(x) = b1 1 (x) + b2 2 (x) + b3 3 (x) + ,
prove that
(f, g) = a1 b1 + a2 b2 + a3 b3 + .
0 < x < 1,
2. (a) Calculate the Fourier series of the function f (x) that equals x2 when x and is
repeated periodically with period 2 over the x axis.

3. (a) Solve the eigenvalue problem (find all eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions)
00 + = 0, 0 x 1,
with boundary conditions (0) = 0 and 0 (1) = 0. NOTE: When determining the eigenvalues,
examine all three cases, = 0, > 0 and < 0
(b) Let L be the differential operator,
d

L= 2 + ,
dx

with periodic boundary conditions over the interval [0, a]. Is the operator selfadjoint? Justify
your answer.
4. Solve the following initial boundary value problem for u(x, t).
ut = uxx + q(x)et , 0 < x < a, t > 0,
BC: ux (0, t) = 0, ux (a, t) = 0,
a
IC: u(x, 0) = x ,

NOTE: When determining the eigenvalues, examine all three cases, = 0,
> 0 and < 0.
5. You are given the following initial boundary value problem for u(x, t) (same as previous problem).
ut = uxx + q(x)et , 0 < x < a, t > 0,
BC: ux (0, t) = 0, ux (a, t) = 0,
a
IC: u(x, 0) = x ,

(a) Assuming that limt+ u(x, t) exists, show that it is constant (independent of x), without
using the series expansion.
(b) Derive an ODE for the quantity V (t) given by
V (t) =
Z a
0

assume,
and solve its initial value problem.
(c) Use your results to calculate the limit limt+ u(x, t).
Z a

q(x)dx = Q ,
6. Solve Laplaces equation (CAN BE DONE WITHOUT EXPANDING TO A SERIES)
uxx + uyy = 0
in the region 0 x 1 and y 0, with the following boundary conditions:
u = 0, when x = 0 and when x = 1; u(x, 0) = sin(x); u converges to zero, when y tends to
infinity.
