the solutions, if any, to each of the following boundary value problems. Here, u = u(x), a
function of only one variable.

 
 u(2π) = 1.

2. (Sturm-Liouville Problems) Find values of λ , a real number and called eigenvalues, for
which the following problems have nonzero or nontrivial solutions φ (x) called eigenfunc-
tions. Also determine these corresponding nonzero solutions.

 

3. In each of the following problems, determine whether the method of separation of variables
can be used to replace the partial differential equation by a pair of ordinary differential
equations. If so, find the equations.

(a) xuxx + ut = 0 (d) uxx + uyy + xu = 0


(b) uxx + uxt + ut = 0 (e) ux + 2uy − u = 0
(c) uxx + (x + y)uyy = 0

4. Solve the resulting pairs of ordinary differential equations in problem (3b) and (3e).
