Final Exam / Re: FE-P6
« on: April 14, 2018, 07:14:10 AM »
Alternatively, professor, you can consider it a bonus, which is rewarding for those who has worked out one of the previous year's final where this situation happened in almost exactly the same manner.

Observe indeed $u$ must be spherical symmetric as is the boundary. Let $v=ru$, then \eqref{6-1}-\eqref{6-2}become, once identity \eqref{6-3} is known,
\begin{align} &v_{tt}-v_{rr}  =0, \label{6-1'}\\ &v|_{t=0}=0, &&v_t|_{t=0}= \left\{\begin{aligned} &\sin(r) &&r<\pi,\\ &0 &&r\ge \pi,\end{aligned}\right.\qquad \label{6-2'} \end{align}
which is easily solved with a combined use of even continuation and D'Alembert's:
\begin{equation}v=\left\{\begin{aligned}&0&&r>t+\pi, \\ &\sin r\sin t&&0<r<-t+\pi, \\ &\frac{\cos(r-t)+1}{2}&&|t-\pi|<r<t+\pi,\\&0&&0<r<t-\pi.\end{aligned}\right.\qquad\label{6-4}\end{equation}
So then
\begin{equation}u=\left\{\begin{aligned}&0&&r>t+\pi, \\ &\frac{\sin r\sin t}{r}&&0<r<-t+\pi, \\ &\frac{\cos(r-t)+1}{2r}&&|t-\pi|<r<t+\pi,\\&0&&0<r<t-\pi.\end{aligned}\right.\qquad\label{6-5}\end{equation}

I agree with George. Tristan: but \eqref{3-4}.

To All,

I think you should have the minus sign.

Tristan,

I think
$$(e^{-x} \psi(x))' = e^{x} + 2e^{x} + e^{x},$$
not minus.

Andrew,

Heed your trig! Beside there should be cases.

Zhongnan,
I think c) is alright as the way it stands. After all \eqref{eq-11.1.12} is deduced from \eqref{eq-11.1.13} so that is also fine...

Andrew,

Your square is misplaced at the place where it is pointed out.

Adam: no you cannot and don't need to assume $\varphi$ is even, but rather you would need to use $\varphi$ is smooth. The gap in your argument is smoothed by
$$(\varphi(-\varepsilon)-\varphi(\varepsilon))\ln\varepsilon\to 0 \text{ as } \varepsilon\downarrow0.$$

Same question. The TA says $\alpha<0$ or $\alpha =n\pi$ which I don't really quite understand.

Observe for nice $\varphi$
$$(\sin(x) \varphi(x))'''=-\cos(x) \varphi(x)-3\sin(x)\varphi'(x)+3\cos(x)\varphi''(x)+\sin(x)\varphi'''(x).$$
Therefore
$$\langle\sin(x)\delta'''(x),\varphi(x)\rangle=\langle\delta'''(x),\sin(x) \varphi(x)\rangle=-\langle\delta(x),(\sin(x) \varphi(x))'''\rangle=\varphi(0)-3\varphi''(0).$$
So $$\sin(x)\delta'''(x)=\delta(x)-3\delta''(x).$$

Define
$$L(r,u_r)=r\sqrt{1+u_r^2}.$$
Then E.-L. $$(L_{u_r})_r=L_u$$ gives
\begin{equation}\label{1-1}\Bigl(\frac{ru_r}{\sqrt{1+u_r^2}}\Bigr)_r=0,\end{equation}
from which we derive
$$\frac{ru_r}{\sqrt{1+u_r^2}}=A\implies u_r^2(r^2-A^2)=A^2\implies u_r=\frac{A}{\sqrt{r^2-A^2}}\implies u=A\cosh^{-1}(r/A)+B.$$

Quiz-7 / Thursday's quiz

It was question 3.3 as of
http://www.math.toronto.edu/courses/apm346h1/20181/PDE-textbook/Chapter8/S8.P.html

Since $g$ is already harmonic, it's harmonic extension in unit ball has the same formula! Moreover $g(kx)=k^3g(x)$ so this formula is in fact a sum of homogeneous harmonic polynomial consisting of one term! So
$$u(x,y,z)=xyz,x^2+y^2+z^2\leq 1$$ or $$\tilde{u}(\rho,\theta,\phi)=\rho^3\cos^2\phi\sin\phi\cos\theta\sin\theta,0\leq\rho\leq1,0\leq\theta\leq 2\pi, 0\leq\phi\leq\pi.$$

Of course I wasn't aware of that. But $\Delta g =12\rho^2$ is really there. I should probably have displayed it.

Quiz-7 / Wednesday's quiz

I was not there but I heard from my friend that they were asked to find harmonic extension in $B_1(0)$ of $g(x,y,z)=x^4+y^4+z^4$ given on $C_1(0)$.

Solution $u$ is sought in the form
\begin{equation}\label{1}u=g-P(x,y,z)(\rho^2-1),\,\rho=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}.\end{equation}
Where $P$ is a polynomial even and symmetric in $x,y,z$, as does $g$, and $\deg(P)=\deg(g)-2=2$ . Therefore $P=P(\rho)=a\rho^2+b$ for some constant $a,b$, and so \eqref{1} becomes
\begin{equation}\label{2}u=g-(a\rho^4+(b-a)\rho^2-b).\end{equation}
Observe $$\Delta\rho^2=6,\,\Delta\rho^4=20\rho^2,\,\Delta g=12\rho^2.$$ Now set $\Delta u=0$ and \eqref{2} gives
\begin{equation}\label{3}0=12\rho^2-(20a\rho^2+6(b-a)).\end{equation}
Equating both sides of \eqref{3} term by term we find $a=b=\frac{3}{5}$ and so \eqref{2} becomes
$$u=g-\frac{3}{5}(\rho^4-1)=\frac{2}{5}(x^4+y^4+z^4)-\frac{6}{5}(x^2y^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2)+\frac{3}{5}.$$

Done. To the posterity: my mistake was on \eqref{error}.
