Seperate the Partial fraction equation

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

\[u _{x _{x}}-c^2k^2u _{y _{y}} \]

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

It is a 2D heat equation

OpenStudy (experimentx):

isn't that partial differential equation??

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

yes it is

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

@TuringTest @Zarkon @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I don't see an equals sign you say this is the 2d Heat equation?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

here is a good example of solving the heat equation by separation of variables if that is what you wanted: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/SolvingHeatEquation.aspx

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

it is equal to zero

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

@TuringTest

OpenStudy (turingtest):

then you have the heat equation as\[u_{xx}=c^2k^2u_{yy}\]which confuses the heck out of me; where is time and why are they both second derivatives? not how I know the heat equation...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[u_t=ku_{xx}\]is how I know it

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I suppose k=c^2k^2 can reconcile part of it, but still your formula makes no sense to me what are x and y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wasiqss.. that's not a heat equation... its a wave equation, a hyperbolic one.. may I request you to rewrite it :))

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

lol @anonymoustwo44 the question is just written as , what i wrote, and heading that solve the Partial Differential equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mean:

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

tomorow is my exam, and this quetsion is expected plz can you solve this for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u_xx-c^2k^2u_yy=0?

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah so its a wave equation...

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

ok. fine then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)) ok what are your Boundary value conditions or initial conditions ?

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

its just written that , seperate the variables and find solution u(x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok so you are to use seperation of variables right?

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so we assume the solution is in the form u(x,y)=w(x)q(y)

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so we have u_xx-c^2k^2u_yy=0 q(w_xx)-c^2k^2w(q_yy)=0 q(w_xx)=c^2k^2w(q_yy) (w_xx)/w=c^2k^2(q_yy)/q=s now we have (w_xx)/w=s c^2k^2(q_yy)/q=s w_xx=ws q_yy=qs/c^2k^2 w_xx-ws=0 q_yy-qs/c^2k^2=0 and now you have two ordinary second order differential equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should I continue?

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

yes plz im too sick to do, high fever

OpenStudy (experimentx):

@anonymoustwo44 use this to build latex equation fast and easy if you have prob http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, I'll be assuming first that c^2k^2>0. now, find solution for 3 cases. for first case, we have s<0: so you find general solution for q and w in this case then multiply them both to find u(x,y) when s<0. then second c=0: again find general solution for w(x) and q(y) then multiply again them to get u(x,t) for x=0. then the last case c>0: find general solution for w(x) and q(y) then multiply to get u(x,y) for s>0. Now, add all the solutions you obtain to get the general solution for u(x,y). now most of the times, for each cases, you'll be computing for eigensolutions and their corresponding eigenvalues (there are infinite number of them in most cases)) for each case. Then we list all of the possible eigensolutions, then we add them all up. And then we get an infinite series which looks a lot like the form of the fourier series. Now using the initial conditions or boundary value conditions, we find the constants in the series. you may check this site: tutorial.math.lamar.edu . The solution most of the times are REALLY MESSY :)) and it may involve a lot of work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its really hard to type all that equation to this site. its really REALLY long. But if you will insist, I will give the solution tomorrow
