Solving PDEs with the Laplace transform

Transforming in just one of two variables reduces a partial equation to an ODE in the other, solved and then inverted, as for heat in a semi-infinite rod.

Exercise 104

Use the Laplace transform in tt to solve Assume that yy is bounded. Hint: Note that for any fixed s>0s > 0, esxe^{sx} blows up as x→+∞x \to +\infty and e−sxe^{-sx} blows up as x→−∞x \to -\infty.

Exercise 105

Use the Laplace transform in tt to solve where f(t)f(t) is some function. Assume that yy is bounded. Give the answer as a convolution.
