Question 1

What is the primary assumption made in Separation of Variables?

  • u(x
  • t) = X(x) + T(t)
  • u(x
  • t) = X(x) * T(t)
  • u(x
  • t) = T(t)/X(x)

💡 Hint: Think about how functions combine.

Question 2

Separation of Variables can only be used for nonlinear PDEs.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the types of equations discussed.

Question 1

Consider the linear PDE ∂u/∂t = k ∂²u/∂x². Assume u(0, t) = 0, u(L, t) = 0. Solve for u(x, t) using the method of separation of variables.

💡 Hint: Use Fourier series expansions with given boundary conditions.

Question 2

Explain how the method of separation of variables can be applied to a nonlinear PDE and discuss the difficulties faced.

💡 Hint: Think critically about how variables influence each other.
