Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the heat equation βˆ‚u/βˆ‚t = 0.01βˆ‚Β²u/βˆ‚xΒ², analyze how boundary conditions might affect the solution's predictability. What if the left boundary is kept at a fixed temperature while the right one is insulated?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how temperatures influence one another across fixed and insulated boundaries.

Question 2

Classify the following PDE: βˆ‚Β²u/βˆ‚tΒ² = kβˆ‚Β²u/βˆ‚xΒ², explaining your reasoning. What makes it differ from a parabolic PDE?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look at how the differentiation aspects lead to different classifications and real-world applications.
