- ut = κ uxx, with u(0,t)=0, ux=± u/c at x=L, where κ, c and L are positive constants.
For both problems (±): Find eigensolutions; give and justify explicit bounds on decay rates. Consider sinh(αx) solutions also. Analyze and discuss physically.
- Derive an equation for ∫0L u2 dx for the previous problem for both boundary conditions. Analyze and discuss.
- Solve utt = c2 uxx, with u(0,t)=0=u(L,t) and initial conditions u=f(x), ut=g(x).

- Read Chapter 3: Fourier Series.
- Define piecewise smooth, even, odd
- Let S(θ) and C(θ) be the sine and cosine series of f(θ) in 0 < θ < π, respectively
3.W.:
- Find S(θ) and C(θ) for f(θ) = θ. Make a nice sketch (preferably with computer software) of dS/dθ and dC/dθ truncated to 2, 4, and 6 terms in the series (and more if you wish, see example of figure 3.3.8). Do these derivatives yield the sine and cosine series of df/dθ? Discuss briefly.
- Find S(θ) and C(θ) for f(θ) = 1 in 0 < a < θ < b < π and f(θ) = 0 otherwise. Sketch f(θ). How fast do the series converge?
- Find S(θ) and C(θ) for f(θ)=θ2. Sketch S(θ) and C(θ) in -2 π < θ < 2π,
- Sketch f(θ)=θ(1-θ/π) and find its sine and cosine series. Sketch S(θ) and C(θ) in -2 π < θ < 2π. Which series converges faster and why? Can you explain/predict a priori the convergence rates? How?
- Find C(θ) for f(θ)=eθ in 2 ways: (1) directly, (2) using d2eθ /dθ2 = eθ (see also problem 3.4.6).
- Find the sine series of f(x)=x and f(x)=x(1-x/L) in 0 <x < L.

- 4.4.: 3, 7, 9, 10
- Fourier series handout and partial homework solutions
- Is it Xmas?! All the book solutions, funded by lots and lots of commercials

Study Chapter 5: Sturm-Liouville.
What is that? Theorems? (P 157) Must know: proofs that SL operator is symmetric (`self-adjoint'), λ real, orthogonality, uniqueness of eigfcts, Rayleigh quotient.

Fundamental explicit example of a Sturm-Liouville EVP:
Bessel's eqn and fcts .
- Study Sec 7.7, 7.8. Where did λ go? isn't that what we are looking for?! (Sec 7.7.4)
- Bessel functions Jm(z), Ym(z). Asymptotics as z → 0.
Asymptotics as z → ∞.

Study how to solve heat and wave eqns in 0 ≤ r ≤ a, 0 ≤ θ < 2 π, t > 0 in terms of Fourier-Bessel series.
Initial boundary value problem u(r,θ,t=0)=f(r,θ) known initial value, with u(r=a,θ,t)=0 boundary value, and u(r=0,θ,t) bounded. Essentially Haberman secs 7.7.7-9.
