    Important instructions
    1. Start each question on a new sheet of paper.
    2. Number your sheets of paper to help you scan them in order.
    3. At the top of each page write the question number on the left and your student exam
    number BXXXXXX on the top right.
    4. Only write on one side of each piece of paper.
    5. If you have rough work to do, simply include it within your overall answer – put
    brackets at the start and end of it if you want to highlight that it is rough work.

    This examination will be marked anonymously.


    MATH10086 1

    (1) Find the first two terms in both the inner and outer expansions of the solution of the
    ordinary differential equation

    d2 y dy
     2 + (2 − x) + 2y = 0,
    dx dx
    where 0 <   1, for the boundary conditions y(0) = 0 and y(1) = 1. [20 marks]

    (2) The modified Bessel function of the second kind of order n, Kn (x), is given by the
    integral expression Z ∞
    Kn (x) = e−x cosh t cosh(nt) dt. (1)
    0

    (a) Show that the first term in the asymptotic expansion of Kn (x) as x → ∞ is
    √
    π
    Kn (x) ∼ √ e−x .
    2x
    [5 marks]
    (b) Use Watson’s Lemma and your result in part (a) to find the first two terms in
    the asymptotic expansion of Kn (x) as x → ∞.
    Note that  √ 
    cosh−1 z = log z + z 2 − 1
    and the Taylor series about the origin
    • of cosh z is 1 + 21 z 2 + 24
    1 4
    z + ...
    • of log(1 + z) is z − 2 z + 31 z 3 − . . .

    [15 marks]

    (3) Use Laplace transforms to find the solution of the initial-boundary value problem for
    the wave equation
    ∂ 2u 2
    2∂ u
    2
    = c 2
    + F0 e−αt , 0 < x < ∞,
    ∂t ∂x
    where α > 0, with the initial conditions
    ∂u
    u = 0, =0
    ∂t
    at t = 0, 0 < x < ∞, and the boundary value u(0, t) = G(t), t > 0, where G(t) is an
    arbitrary function. The physical boundary condition that u is bounded as x → ∞ is
    taken as given. Here, F0 and α are constants.
    NOTE: Do not use Green’s functions to find the solution. [20 marks]

    (4) Find the solution of the first order partial differential equation

    ∂u ∂u
    + u3 =0
    ∂t ∂x
    with the initial condition


     0, x > L,

    u1 , 0 ≤ x ≤ L,
    u(x, 0) =

     −u1 , −L ≤ x < 0,

    0, x < −L.

    Note that u1 > 0 and L > 0 and that both u1 and L are constants. Be careful to
    give the full solution for all possible solution regimes. These regimes will depend on
    time intervals, which should be detailed. [20 marks]
