Exercise 103

Avg difficulty 2.5

Solve ytt=2yxxfor   0<x<π and t>0,y(0,t)=y(π,t)=0for   t>0,y(x,0)=xfor   0<x<π,yt(x,0)=0for   0<x<π.\begin{array}{ll} y_{tt} = 2 y_{xx} & \qquad \text{for } \; 0 < x < \pi \text{ and } t > 0, \\ y(0,t) = y(\pi,t) = 0 & \qquad \text{for } \; t > 0 , \\ y(x,0) = x & \qquad \text{for } \; 0 < x < \pi , \\ y_t(x,0) = 0 & \qquad \text{for } \; 0 < x < \pi . \end{array}
