Question 1

What is a boundary condition?

  • It specifies the values of the function at the boundary.
  • It describes how the solution evolves over time.
  • It provides initial conditions for the system.

💡 Hint: Think about how the edges of a physical system restrict the overall behavior.

Question 2

T/F: Initial conditions are used to specify the values at the boundaries of a PDE.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what initial versus boundary means.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a heat equation for a metal rod of length L with ends fixed at temperature 0 degrees. Write down the PDE with appropriate boundary and initial conditions.

💡 Hint: Think about the physical constraints given to the ends of the rod.

Question 2

A vibrating string of length L is fixed at both ends. If initially displaced at a height described by f(x) and released with zero initial velocity, formulate the initial conditions for the wave equation.

💡 Hint: Notice how both displacement and speed are essential for this physical context.
