The student needs only a basic knowledge of Mathematica to use the notebook, which is designed both to show how to work problems in the text and to provide a template for using Mathematica to work other problems of the student's own design. Calculations will be performed when the reader presses enter in a given calculation cell (bold print). It is best to activate the cells in order, so that Mathematica will be able to call on operators and functions defined in earlier cells. Red color coding is used to warn the reader when a given calculation relies on an earlier one. ;[s] 13:0,0;19,1;30,0;96,1;133,0;181,1;192,0;315,1;326,0;538,1;549,0;626,2;642,0;721,-1; 3:7,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;5,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,0,12,65535,0,0; :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] A useful substitution, which we shall often make, is: :[font = input; preserveAspect] TrigId = {Cos[Pi n_] -> (-1)^n, Sin[Pi n_] -> 0}; :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] Please activate this cell before proceeding. :[font = section; inactive; Cclosed; preserveAspect; startGroup] Introduction. The heat equation and the heat operator. :[font = text; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14] In Mathematica notation, the wave equation can be written as D[u, T] = k D[u, {x,2}] We classify this PDE as second order and linear. ;[s] 5:0,0;3,1;14,0;72,2;96,0;156,-1; 3:3,16,12,Times,0,14,0,0,0;1,16,12,Times,2,14,0,0,0;1,15,11,Courier,0,14,0,0,0; :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] "Second order" means that derivatives up to second order occur in the equation, but no higher-order derivatives. This will be the case for the great majority of PDE's in this class. We shall solve the heat equation with a the method known as separation of variables, which is often particularly good for linear equations. "Linear" refers to the superposition property, i.e., if two functions u1 and u2 are solutions, then so is any linear combination, a1 u1 + a2 u2. In fact, (HE) is a statement that the function u is in the kernel of a linear operator. A convenient way to set up a linear differential operator in Mathematica is as follows - the operator acts on functions, so identify a function f with an understroke to show that it is the independent variable in the wave operator: ;[s] 15:0,0;396,1;397,0;403,1;404,0;455,2;456,1;457,0;459,1;460,0;463,2;464,1;465,0;467,1;468,0;795,-1; 3:7,16,12,Times,0,14,0,0,0;6,24,16,Times,64,14,0,0,0;2,16,12,Symbol,0,14,0,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect] HeatOp[f_,k_] := (1/k) D[f,t] - D[f, {x,2}] :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] We'll often set k = 1 for convenience; this is not really a restriction, since we are free to choose a clock with scaled time variable t' = k t. To make this simplification convenient, we define: :[font = input; dontPreserveAspect] HeatOp[f_] := HeatOp[f,1] ;[s] 3:0,0;15,1;21,0;27,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = text; inactive; Cclosed; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14; startGroup] In this cell you may try out the wave operator. :[font = input; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14; startGroup] HeatOp[t^3 Sin[x]^2] ;[s] 2:0,1;6,0;21,-1; 2:1,14,11,Courier,1,14,0,0,0;1,14,11,Courier,1,14,65535,0,0; :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14; endGroup] -2*t^3*Cos[x]^2 + 3*t^2*Sin[x]^2 + 2*t^3*Sin[x]^2 ;[o] 3 2 2 2 3 2 -2 t Cos[x] + 3 t Sin[x] + 2 t Sin[x] :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] That function was not a solution. The following one is: :[font = input; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14; startGroup] HeatOp[Exp[-t] Sin[x]] == 0 ;[s] 2:0,1;6,0;28,-1; 2:1,14,11,Courier,1,14,0,0,0;1,14,11,Courier,1,14,65535,0,0; :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14; endGroup; endGroup; endGroup] True ;[o] True :[font = section; inactive; Cclosed; preserveAspect; startGroup] Solving the heat equation with the method of separation of variables - derivation :[font = text; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14] To simplify matters a bit, we assume that k = 1 and x ranges from 0 to 1. The more general solution can be obtained by scaling and shifting the variables t and x. We try to solve the wave equation with the ansatz that u[t,x] is of the special form T[t] X[x], known as a product solution. :[font = input; preserveAspect] u[t_,x_] := T[t] X[x] :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] HeatOp[u[t,x]] ;[s] 2:0,1;6,0;15,-1; 2:1,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = output; output; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; endGroup] X[x]*Derivative[1][T][t] - T[t]*Derivative[2][X][x] ;[o] X[x] T'[t] - T[t] X''[x] :[font = text; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14] This simplifies if we divide through by T[t] X[x]: :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] %/(T[t] X[x]) :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup] (X[x]*Derivative[1][T][t] - T[t]*Derivative[2][X][x])/ (T[t]*X[x]) ;[o] X[x] T'[t] - T[t] X''[x] ------------------------ T[t] X[x] :[font = input; dontPreserveAspect; startGroup] Simplify[%] :[font = output; output; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; endGroup] Derivative[1][T][t]/T[t] - Derivative[2][X][x]/X[x] ;[o] T'[t] X''[x] ----- - ------ T[t] X[x] :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] If u solves the wave equation, this expression must be zero. (We could quibble about what happens when T or X = 0, but that would either mean that u is the uninteresting "trivial" solution or else the problem occurs only at isolated values of x and t.) Thus T'/T = X''/X. Since the left side is independent of x and the right side is independent of t, both sides must in fact equal a constant. We don't know its value yet, so let us call it - mu. (It turns out to be negative.) Thus X''[x] = - mu X[x]: :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] DSolve[- X''[x]== mu X[x],X[x],x] :[font = output; output; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; endGroup] {{X[x] -> E^(-I*mu^(1/2)*x)*C[1] + E^(I*mu^(1/2)*x)*C[2]}} ;[o] -I Sqrt[mu] x I Sqrt[mu] x {{X[x] -> E C[1] + E C[2]}} :[font = text; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14; startGroup] We now remind Mathematica about Euler's interesting formula for complex exponentials: :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] % /. {E^(I Sqrt[mu] x) -> Cos[Sqrt[mu] x] + I Sin[Sqrt[mu] x], E^(- I Sqrt[mu] x) -> Cos[Sqrt[mu] x] - I Sin[Sqrt[mu] x]} :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup; endGroup] {{X[x] -> C[1]*(Cos[mu^(1/2)*x] - I*Sin[mu^(1/2)*x]) + C[2]*(Cos[mu^(1/2)*x] + I*Sin[mu^(1/2)*x])}} ;[o] {{X[x] -> C[1] (Cos[Sqrt[mu] x] - I Sin[Sqrt[mu] x]) + C[2] (Cos[Sqrt[mu] x] + I Sin[Sqrt[mu] x])}} :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] Evidently, we could reexpress this as :[font = input; preserveAspect] Clear[X,D1,D2] :[font = input; preserveAspect] X[x_] := D1 Cos[Sqrt[mu] x] + D1 Sin[Sqrt[mu] x] :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] X[0] :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup] D1 ;[o] D1 :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] This means that in order to satisfy the BC at x=0, we must have: :[font = input; preserveAspect] X[x_] := Sin[Sqrt[mu] x] :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] Solve[X[L] == 0, mu] :[font = message; inactive; preserveAspect] Solve::ifun: Warning: Inverse functions are being used by Solve, so some solutions may not be found. :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup] {{mu -> 0}} ;[o] {{mu -> 0}} :[font = input; preserveAspect] Clear[X] :[font = input; preserveAspect] X[x_,n_Integer] := Sin[n Pi x/L] :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] Since the second derivative of this is - (n Pi/L)^2 Sin[n Pi x/L], we see that :[font = input; preserveAspect] mu[n_Integer] := -(n Pi/L)^2 :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] Now let's look at the other part of the PDE which we "separated off": T'[t] = - mu T[t] As we saw, there are many possible values of \mu which are consistent with the boundary condition for the function X, and the same possibilities occur in equation (6.3) (multiply \mu by k here if k is not set to 1). Therefore T[t_,n_] = A[n] Exp[- (n \pi)^2 t]. We cannot go further with the function T without being given the initial condition, that is, information about what happens at t=0. The general solution we come up with is a linear combination of the particular solutions we get by separating the equation. It is not yet obvious that this is a completely general solution, but it is. The most general linear combination is of the form: :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] u[t_,x_] = Sum[c[n] Exp[- (n Pi) t ] Sin[n Pi x], \ {n,1,infinity}] :[font = message; inactive; preserveAspect] General::spell1: Possible spelling error: new symbol name "infinity" is similar to existing symbol "Infinity". :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup] Sum[(c[n]*Sin[n*Pi*x])/E^(n*Pi*t), {n, 1, infinity}] ;[o] c[n] Sin[n Pi x] Sum[----------------, {n, 1, infinity}] n Pi t E :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14; endGroup] The coefficients A[n] have to be determined from the initial condition, u(0,x); they are the Fourier sine coefficients of u(0,x). (See the examples in the next section.) :[font = section; inactive; Cclosed; preserveAspect; startGroup] Automating the solution to the heat equation The general solution of the heat equation with (i) homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions at x=a and x=b, and (ii) initial condition u[0,x] == f[x] can be automated with the Mathematica commands in this section. ;[s] 4:0,0;45,1;258,2;269,1;296,-1; 3:1,19,14,Times,1,18,0,0,0;2,16,12,Times,0,14,0,0,0;1,16,12,Times,2,14,0,0,0; :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] We break the solution into two steps, the first of which calculates the Fourier sine coefficients for the initial condition. :[font = input; preserveAspect] B[f_,m_, {a_,b_}] := (2/(b-a)) Integrate[ \ (Sin[m Pi intvar/(b-a)] f /. x -> intvar), \ {intvar, a, b}] /.

Observing the smoothing property, approach to equilibrium, and maximum principle. :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] In the graphs of the previous two examples we easily several general features: 1. u[t,x] is a smooth function 2. u[t,x] tends to the equilibrium value 0 3. The way in which u[t,x] approaches equilibrium is the temperature distribution rather rapidly rearranges itself to have the shape of the fundamental normal mode Sin[Pi x]. 4. The maximum and minimum values of the temperature occur at the space-time boundary: x = 0, x = 1, t = 0, or t = tmax (whatever the stopping time is). The initial conditions for these problems were, however, particularly simple. Here are some other solutions of the heat equation the graphs of which will reveal the same features. We construct them as linear combinations of simple solutions of the heat equation, with various boundary conditions. 1. ;[s] 3:0,0;477,1;480,0;818,-1; 2:2,16,12,Times,0,14,0,0,0;1,24,16,Times,64,14,0,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] HeatOp[2t + x^2- 5] == 0 :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup] True ;[o] True :[font = input; preserveAspect] u1[t_,x_] = 2t + x^2- 5 + Sum[(-1)^(n+1) 10 /(1 + Sqrt[n]) Exp[- n^2 Pi^2 t] \ Sin[n Pi x], {n, 1, 6}]; :[font = input; preserveAspect] Table[Plot[u1[t,x],{x,0,1}, PlotRange -> {-15,15}], {t, 0, .2, .05}] ;[s] 3:0,0;11,1;13,0;69,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect] 2. ;[s] 1:0,1;3,-1; 2:0,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,16,12,Times,0,14,0,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] HeatOp[Exp[- n^2 Pi^2 t] Sin[n Pi x + n]] == 0 :[font = output; output; inactive; preserveAspect; endGroup] True ;[o] True :[font = input; preserveAspect] u2[t_,x_] = Sum[(-1)^n n Exp[- n^2 Pi^2 t] \ Sin[n Pi x + n], {n, 1, 6}]; :[font = input; preserveAspect; endGroup] Table[Plot[u2[t,x],{x,0,1}, PlotRange -> {-15,15}], {t, 0, .1, .02}] ;[s] 3:0,0;11,1;13,0;69,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = section; inactive; Cclosed; preserveAspect; startGroup] The temperature distribution with radiative loss of energy, using method of separation of variables :[font = text; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; fontSize = 14] If the insulation along the rod is imperfect, we may model the loss with a modified heat operator of the form: :[font = input; preserveAspect] ModHeatOp[u_] := D[u,t] - D[u,{x,2}] - .2 u :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect] We shall impose Dirichlet conditions at 0 and 1. ;[s] 1:0,1;49,-1; 2:0,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,16,12,Times,0,14,0,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] Simplify[ModHeatOp[T[t] X[x]]/(T[t] X[x])] ;[s] 3:0,0;9,1;18,0;43,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = output; output; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; endGroup] -0.2 + Derivative[1][T][t]/T[t] - Derivative[2][X][x]/X[x] ;[o] T'[t] X''[x] -0.2 + ----- - ------ T[t] X[x] :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] The eigenvalue equation becomes: :[font = input; preserveAspect; startGroup] DSolve[- X''[x] + (1/5) X[x] == mu X[x],X[x],x] :[font = output; output; inactive; dontPreserveAspect; endGroup] {{X[x] -> C[1]/E^(((1 - 5*mu)^(1/2)*x)/5^(1/2)) + E^(((1 - 5*mu)^(1/2)*x)/5^(1/2))*C[2]}} ;[o] C[1] {{X[x] -> --------------------------- + (Sqrt[1 - 5 mu] x)/Sqrt[5] E (Sqrt[1 - 5 mu] x)/Sqrt[5] E C[2]}} :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] In order that x[0] == 0, C[2] = - C[1], so the eigenfunctions are proportional to :[font = input; preserveAspect] X[x_,mu_] := Sin[Sqrt[5 mu - 1] x/Sqrt[5]] :[font = text; inactive; preserveAspect; fontSize = 14] In order for this to equal 0 when x=1, mu -> (5 n^2 Pi^2 - 1)/5, so the separated solutions become Exp[- ((1 - 5 n^2 Pi^2)/5) t] Sin[n Pi x] :[font = input; preserveAspect] ModHeatSol[f_,t_,x_, infinity_] := \ Sum[B[f,n] Exp[- ((5 n^2 Pi^2 - 1)/5) t ] Sin[n Pi x], \ {n,1,infinity}] :[font = input; preserveAspect] ModHeatSol[4 x^2,t,x,8]; ;[s] 2:0,1;10,0;25,-1; 2:1,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; endGroup] Table[Plot[%,{x,0,1}, PlotRange -> {0,5}], {t, 0, 1, .2}] ;[s] 3:0,0;11,1;12,0;58,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = section; inactive; Cclosed; preserveAspect; startGroup] Exercises :[font = subsection; inactive; preserveAspect] 1.
