Trang 10This text is designed for a one-semester or two-quarter course in partial ferential equations given to third- and fourth-year students of engineering andscience It can also be used as the basis for an introductory course for graduatestudents Mathematical prerequisites have been kept to a minimum — calculusand differential equations Vector calculus is used for only one derivation, andnecessary linear algebra is limited to determinants of order two A reader needsenough background in physics to follow the derivations of the heat and waveequations
dif-The principal objective of the book is solving boundary value problemsinvolving partial differential equations Separation of variables receives thegreatest attention because it is widely used in applications and because it pro-vides a uniform method for solving important cases of the heat, wave, andpotential equations One technique is not enough, of course D’Alembert’s so-lution of the wave equation is developed in parallel with the series solution,and the distributed-source solution is constructed for the heat equation Inaddition, there are chapters on Laplace transform techniques and on numeri-cal methods
The second objective is to tie together the mathematics developed and thestudent’s physical intuition This is accomplished by deriving the mathemati-cal model in a number of cases, by using physical reasoning in the mathemat-ical development, by interpreting mathematical results in physical terms, and
by studying the heat, wave, and potential equations separately
In the service of both objectives, there are many fully worked examples andnow about 900 exercises, including miscellaneous exercises at the end of eachchapter The level of difficulty ranges from drill and verification of details
to development of new material Answers to odd-numbered exercises are in

of heat, wave, and potential equations in finite regions My choice for the nextmost important block of material is the Fourier integral and the solution ofproblems on unbounded regions: Sections 1.9, 2.10–2.12, 3.6, and 4.4 Theserequire at least six more lectures
The tastes of the instructor and the needs of the audience will govern thechoice of further material A rather theoretical flavor results from including:Sections 1.4–1.7 on convergence of Fourier series; Sections 2.7–2.9 on Sturm–Liouville problems, and the sequel, Section 3.4; and the more difficult parts ofChapter 5, Sections 5.5–5.10 on Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials
On the other hand, inclusion of numerical methods in Sections 1.8 and 3.5and Chapter 7 gives a very applied flavor
Chapter 0 reviews solution techniques and theory of ordinary differentialequations and boundary value problems Equilibrium forms of the heat andwave equations are derived also This material belongs in an elementary differ-ential equations course and is strictly optional However, many students haveeither forgotten it or never seen it
For this fifth edition, I have revised in response to students’ changing needsand abilities Many sections have been rewritten to improve clarity, provideextra detail, and make solution processes more explicit In the optional Chap-ter 0, free and forced vibrations are major examples for solution of differentialequations with constant coefficients In Chapter 1, I have returned to derivingthe Fourier integral as a “limit” of Fourier series New exercises are includedfor applications of Fourier series and integrals Solving potential problems on arectangle seems to cause more difficulty than expected A new section 4.3 givesmore guidance and examples as well as some information about the Poissonequation New exercises have been added and old ones revised throughout

0.1 Homogeneous Linear Equations
The subject of most of this book is partial differential equations: their physicalmeaning, problems in which they appear, and their solutions Our principalsolution technique will involve separating a partial differential equation intoordinary differential equations Therefore, we begin by reviewing some factsabout ordinary differential equations and their solutions
We are interested mainly in linear differential equations of first and secondorders, as shown here:
Trang 152 Chapter 0 Ordinary Differential Equations
This equation can be solved by isolating u on one side and then integrating:
It is easy to check directly that the last expression is a solution of the differential
equation for any value of c That is, c is an arbitrary constant and can be used
to satisfy an initial condition if one has been specified
The most common case of this differential equation has k(t) = k constant.
The differential equation and its general solution are
Trang 16Chapter 0 Ordinary Differential Equations 3 Principle of Superposition. If u1(t) and u2(t) are solutions of the same linear homogeneous equation (6), then so is any linear combination of them: u(t)=
c1u1(t) + c2u2(t).
This theorem, which is very easy to prove, merits the name of principle
be-cause it applies, with only superficial changes, to many other kinds of linear,homogeneous equations Later, we will be using the same principle on partialdifferential equations To be able to satisfy an unrestricted initial condition, weneed two linearly independent solutions of a second-order equation Two so-
lutions are linearly independent on an interval if the only linear combination of
them (with constant coefficients) that is identically 0 is the combination with 0for its coefficients There is an alternative test: Two solutions of the same linearhomogeneous equation (6) are independent on an interval if and only if their
is nonzero on that interval
If we have two independent solutions u1(t), u2(t) of a linear second-order
homogeneous equation, then the linear combination u(t) = c1u1(t) + c2u2(t)
is a general solution of the equation: Given any initial conditions, c1and c2can
be chosen so that u(t) satisfies them.
1 Constant coefficients
The most important type of second-order linear differential equation that can
be solved in closed form is the one with constant coefficients,
d2u
dt2 + k du
dt + pu = 0 (k, p are constants). (8)
There is always at least one solution of the form u(t) = e mtfor an appropriate
constant m To find m, substitute the proposed solution into the differential
equation, obtaining
m2e mt + kme mt + pe mt = 0,
or
(since e mt is never 0) This is called the characteristic equation of the
differ-ential equation (8) There are three cases for the roots of the characteristicequation (9), which determine the nature of the general solution of Eq (8).These are summarized in Table 1
This method of assuming an exponential form for the solution works forlinear homogeneous equations of any order with constant coefficients In all

Roots of Characteristic General Solution of Differential
Real, distinct: m1= m2 u(t) = c1e m1t + c2e m2t
Real, double: m1= m2 u(t) = c1e m1t + c2te m1t
Conjugate complex: u(t) = c1e αt cos(βt) + c2e αt sin(βt)
We include two important examples First, consider the differential equation
d2u
dt2 + λ2u = 0, (12)
where λ is constant The characteristic equation is m2+ λ2= 0, with roots
m = ±iλ The third case of Table 1 applies if λ = 0; the general solution of the
The characteristic equation now is m2− λ2= 0, with roots m = ±λ If λ = 0,
the first case of Table 1 applies, and the general solution is

test shows them to be independent Therefore, we may equally well write
u(t) = c
1cosh(λt) + c
2sinh(λt)
as the general solution of Eq (14), where c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants
Example: Mass–Spring–Damper System.
The displacement of a mass in a mass–spring–damper system (Fig 1) is scribed by the initial value problem
The equation is derived from Newton’s second law Coefficients b and ω2
are proportional to characteristic constants of the damper and the spring, spectively The characteristic equation of the differential equation is
The nature of the solution, and therefore the motion of the mass, is determined
by the relation between b/2 and ω.
b = 0: undamped. The roots are±iω and the general solution of the
differ-ential equation is
u(t) = c1cos(ωt) + c2sin(ωt).
The mass oscillates forever
Trang 196 Chapter 0 Ordinary Differential Equations
0 < b/2 < ω: underdamped. The roots are complex conjugates α ±iβ with
α = −b/2, β = ω2− (b/2)2 The general solution of the differential tion is
equa-u(t) = e −bt/2
c1cos(βt) + c2sin(βt)
.
The mass oscillates, but approaches equilibrium as t increases.
b/2 = ω: critically damped. The roots are both equal to b/2 The general
solution of the differential equation is
u(t) = e −bt/2 (c1+ c2t).
The mass approaches equilibrium as t increases and may pass through librium (u(t) may change sign) at most once.
equi-b/2 > ω: overdamped. Both roots of the characteristic equation are real,
say, m1and m2 The general solution of the differential equation is
u(t) = c1e m1t + c2e m2t
.
The mass approaches equilibrium as t increases, and u(t) may change sign at
for this equation is quite similar to the preceding: Assume that a solution has
the form u(t) = t m , and then find m Substituting u in this form into Eq (17)
leads to
t2m(m − 1)t m−2+ ktmt m−1+ pt m = 0, or
m(m − 1) + km + p = 0 (k, p are constants). (18)This is the characteristic equation for Eq (17), and the nature of its roots de-termines the solution, as summarized in Table 2
One important example of the Cauchy–Euler equation is
t2d
2u
dt2 + t du
dt − λ2u = 0, (19)
Trang 20Chapter 0 Ordinary Differential Equations 7
Roots of Characteristic General Solution of Differential
Real, distinct roots: m1= m2 u(t) = c1t m1+ c2t m2
Real, double root: m1= m2 u(t) = c1t m1+ c2( ln t)t m1
Conjugate complex roots: u(t) = c1t α cos(β ln t) + c2t α sin(β ln t)
m1= α + iβ, m2= α − iβ
Table 2 Solutions of t 2 d2u
dt2 + kt du
dt + pu = 0
where λ > 0 The characteristic equation is m(m −1)+m−λ2= m2−λ2= 0
The roots are m = ±λ, so the first case of Table 2 applies, and
u(t) = c1t λ + c2t −λ (20)
is the general solution of Eq (19)
For the general linear equation
d2u
dt2 + k(t) du
dt + p(t)u = 0, any point where k(t) or p(t) fails to be continuous is a singular point of the
differential equation At such a point, solutions may break down in various
ways However, if t0is a singular point where both of the functions
(t − t0)k(t) and (t − t0)2p(t) (21)
have Taylor series expansions, then t0 is called a regular singular point The
Cauchy–Euler equation is an example of an important differential equation
having a regular singular point (at t0= 0) The behavior of its solution nearthat point provides a model for more general equations

Here are the details The second derivative of u has to be replaced by its pression in terms of v, using the chain rule Start by finding
C Second Independent Solution
Although it is not generally possible to solve a second-order linear neous equation with variable coefficients, we can always find a second inde-
homoge-pendent solution if one solution is known This method is called reduction of
Assume that u2(t) = v(t)u1(t) is a solution We wish to find v(t) so that u2
is indeed a solution However, v(t) must not be constant, as that would not supply an independent solution A straightforward substitution of u2= vu1
into the differential equation leads to
vu1+ 2vu + vu+ k(t)(vu1+ vu) + p(t)vu1= 0.
Trang 22Chapter 0 Ordinary Differential Equations 9
Now collect terms in the derivatives of v The preceding equation becomes
which is a first-order linear equation for v Thus, a nonconstant v can be
found, at least in terms of some integrals
Linear homogeneous equations of order higher than 2 — especially order 4 —
occur frequently in elasticity and fluid mechanics A general, nth-order
homo-geneous linear equation may be written
u (n) + k1(t)u (n −1) + · · · + k n−1(t)u ( 1) + k n (t)u = 0, (26)

in which the coefficients k1(t), k2(t), etc., are given functions of t The
tech-niques of solution are analogous to those for second-order equations In ticular, they depend on the Principle of Superposition, which remains validfor this equation That principle allows us to say that the general solution
par-of Eq (26) has the form par-of a linear combination par-of n independent solutions
u1(t), u2(t), , u n (t) with arbitrary constant coefficients,
differen-m n + k1m n−1+ · · · + k n−1m + k n = 0, (28)
called the characteristic equation of the differential equation (27).
Each distinct root of the characteristic equation contributes as many
inde-pendent solutions as its multiplicity, which might be as high as n Recall also
that the polynomial equation (28) may have complex roots, which will occur
in conjugate pairs if — as we assume — the coefficients k1, k2, etc., are real.When this happens, we prefer to have real solutions, in the form of an expo-nential times sine or cosine, instead of complex exponentials The contribution
of each root or pair of conjugate roots of Eq (28) is summarized in Table 3
Since the sum of the multiplicities of the roots of Eq (28) is n, the sum of the contributions produces a solution with n terms, which can be shown to be the
general solution
Trang 24Chapter 0 Ordinary Differential Equations 11 Example.
Find the general solution of this fourth-order equation
u ( 4) + 3u ( 2) − 4u = 0.
The characteristic equation is m4+ 3m2− 4 = 0, which is easy to solve because
it is a biquadratic We find that m2= −4 or 1, and thus the roots are m = ±2i,
±1, all with multiplicity 1 From Table 3 we find that a cos(2t) + b sin(2t) responds to the complex conjugate pair, m = ±2i, while e t and e −tcorrespond
cor-to m = 1 and m = −1 Thus we build up the general solution,
u(t) = a cos(2t) + b sin(2t) + c1e t + c2e −t
u(t) = (c1+ c2t)e t + (c3+ c4t)e −t
With sinh(t) = (e t − e −t )/ 2 and cosh(t) = (e t + e −t )/2, the terms of the ceding combination can be rearranged to give the general solution in a differ-ent form,
pre-u(t) = (C1+ C2t) cosh(t) + (C3+ C4t) sinh(t).

that the distance between rollers is well approximated by h + y, where h
is the nominal output thickness and y is the solution of the differential equation y+ 2αy+ σ2y= 0 The elasticity of the sheet and the rollersprovides the restoring force, and the plastic deformation of the sheet ef-fectively provides damping

600 Hz or 1200π radians/s and α = 0.103σ Using these values, obtain
a graph of the solution of the preceding exercise, over the range 0 < t < 0.02 s How far does the sheet move in 0.02 s?
25. (Continuation) The damping constant α referred to in the previous ercises appears to depend on v, the speed of the sheet into the rollers, according to the relation α/σ = A/v, where A is a constant From the in- formation given previously, the value of A is about 2.62 Assuming this is correct, find the speed v at which damping is critical.
ex-0.2 Nonhomogeneous Linear Equations
In this section, we will review methods for solving nonhomogeneous linearequations of first and second orders,
Of course, we assume that the inhomogeneity f (t) is not identically 0 The
simplest nonhomogeneous equation is
We have used an indefinite integral and have written c as a reminder that there
is an arbitrary additive constant in the general solution of Eq (1) A moreprecise way to write the solution is
u(t)=

that the name of the integration variable is changed from t to something else (here, z) to avoid confusing the limit with the dummy variable of integration.
The simple second-order equation
d2u
can be solved by two successive integrations
The two theorems that follow summarize some properties of linear tions that are useful in constructing solutions
equa-Theorem 1. The general solution of a nonhomogeneous linear equation has the form u(t) = u p (t) + u c (t), where u p (t) is any particular solution of the nonho- mogeneous equation and u c (t) is the general solution of the corresponding homo-
Theorem 2. If u p1 (t) and u p2 (t) are particular solutions of a differential equation with inhomogeneities f1(t) and f2(t), respectively, then k1u p1 (t) + k2u p2 is a par- ticular solution of the differential equation with inhomogeneity k1f1(t) + k2f2(t) (k1, k2are constants).

Of course, an initial condition applies to the entire solution of the given
Now we turn our attention to methods for finding particular solutions ofnonhomogeneous linear differential equations
A Undetermined Coefficients
This method involves guessing the form of a trial solution and then finding theappropriate coefficients Naturally, it is limited to the cases in which we canguess successfully: when the equation has constant coefficients and the inho-mogeneity is simple in form Table 4 offers a summary of admissible inhomo-geneities and the corresponding forms for particular solution The parameters
n, α, β and the coefficients a0, , a n , b0, , b n are found by inspecting the
given inhomogeneity The table compresses several cases For instance, f (t) in line 1 is a polynomial if α = 0 or an exponential if n = 0 and α = 0 In line 2,
both sine and cosine must be included in the trial solution even if one is absent
from f (t); but α = 0 is allowed, and so is n = 0.
Example.
Find a particular solution of
d2u
dt2 + 5u = te −t .
We use line 1 of Table 4 Evidently, n = 1 and α = −1 The appropriate form
for the trial solution is
u p (t) = (A0t + A1)e −t
When we substitute this form into the differential equation, we obtain
(A0t + A1− 2A0)e −t + 5(A0t + A1)e −t = te −t .

Now, equating coefficients of like terms gives these two equations for the ficients:

A trial solution from Table 4 will not work if it contains any term that is a lution of the homogeneous differential equation In that case, the trial solutionhas to be revised by the following rule
so-Revision Rule. Multiply by the lowest positive integral power of t such that no term in the trial solution satisfies the corresponding homogeneous equation.
The trial solution contains a term (A1e −t )that is a solution of the
homoge-neous equation Multiplying the trial solution by t eliminates the problem.
Thus, the trial solution is
has to be revised The solution of the corresponding homogeneous equation
is u c (t) = c1e −t + c2te −t The trial solution from the table has to be multiplied
by t2to eliminate solutions of the homogeneous equation

b = 0, µ = ω: resonance. Now, since ω = µ, the trial solution must be
2µ t sin(µt) + c1cos(µt) + c2sin(µt).
(Remember that b = 0 and ω = µ.) The initial conditions give c1= c2= 0, sothe solution of the initial value problem is
u(t)= f0
2µ t sin(µt).
The presence of the multiplier t means that the amplitude of the oscillation is
increasing This is the phenomenon of resonance
b > 0: damped motion. The ideas are straightforward applications of the
techniques developed earlier The trial solution is a combination of cos(µt) and sin(µt) Somewhat less simple algebra gives

where = (ω2−µ2)2+µ2b2 The general solution of the differential equation
may take different forms, depending on the relation between b and ω (See
Section 1.) Assuming the underdamped case holds, we have

B Variation of Parameters
Generally, if a linear homogeneous differential equation can be solved, the responding nonhomogeneous equation can also be solved, at least in terms ofintegrals
The latter is a nonhomogeneous equation of simplest type, which can be
solved for v(t) in one integration.

Thus, we are left with a pair of simultaneous equations,
the Wronskian of u1 and u2 Since these were to be independent solutions of
Eq (10), their Wronskian is nonzero, and we may solve for v1(t) and v2(t) and
hence for v1and v2
These equations are to be integrated to find v1and v2, and then u p (t).
Finally, we note that v1(t) and v2(t) can be found from Eqs (12) and (15)

0.3 Boundary Value Problems
A boundary value problem in one dimension is an ordinary differential
equa-tion together with condiequa-tions involving values of the soluequa-tion and/or its atives at two or more points The number of conditions imposed is equal tothe order of the differential equation Usually, boundary value problems of anyphysical relevance have these characteristics: (1) The conditions are imposed
deriv-at two different points; (2) the solution is of interest only between those twopoints; and (3) the independent variable is a space variable, which we shall
represent as x In addition, we are primarily concerned with cases where the
differential equation is linear and of second order However, problems in ticity often involve fourth-order equations
elas-In contrast to initial value problems, even the most innocent lookingboundary value problem may have exactly one solution, no solution, or aninfinite number of solutions Exercise 1 illustrates these cases
When the differential equation in a boundary value problem has a knowngeneral solution, we use the two boundary conditions to supply two equationsthat are to be satisfied by the two constants in the general solution If the dif-ferential equation is linear, these are two linear equations and can be easilysolved, if there is a solution
In the rest of this section we examine some physical examples that are rally associated with boundary value problems

First we consider the problem of finding the shape of a cable that is fastened
at each end and carries a distributed load The cables of a suspension bridge
provide an important example Let u(x) denote the position of the centerline
of the cable, measured upward from the x-axis, which we assume to be zontal (See Fig 3.) Our objective is to find the function u(x).
hori-The shape of the cable is determined by the forces acting on it In our sis, we consider the forces that hold a small segment of the cable in place (SeeFig 4.) The key assumption is that the cable is perfectly flexible This meansthat force inside the cable is always a tension and that its direction at everypoint is the direction tangent to the centerline

We suppose that the cable is not moving Then by Newton’s second law,the sum of the horizontal components of the forces on the segment is 0, and
likewise for the vertical components If T(x) and T(x+ x) are the magnitudes
of the tensions at the ends on the segment, we have these two equations:
T(x + x) cosφ(x + x)− T(x) cosφ(x)
= 0 ( Horizontal), (1)
T(x + x) sinφ(x + x)− T(x) sinφ(x)
− f (x) x = 0 (Vertical) (2)
In the second equation, f (x) is the intensity of the distributed load, measured
in force per unit of horizontal length, so f (x) x is the load borne by the small
segment
From Eq (1) we see that the horizontal component of the tension is the same
at both ends of the segment In fact, the horizontal component of tension has
the same value — call it T — at every point, including the endpoints where
the cable is attached to solid supports By simple algebra we can now find thetension in the cable at the ends of our segment,
Before going further we should note (Fig 4) that φ(x) measures the angle
between the tangent to the centerline of the cable and the horizontal As the
position of the centerline is given by u(x), tan(φ(x)) is just the slope of the cable at x From elementary calculus we know
