Exercise 1.(7 points) Solve the transport problem with damping (ut+ 3 u x+ 2 u= 0x2R; t >0 u(x;0) =ej xj x2R: Answer:Lettingv=e2 t u,vsolves the following transport problem (without damping) (vt+ 3 v x= 0 x2R; t >0; v(x;0) =ej xj x2R: After settingg(x) =v(x;0) =ej xj , we getv(x; t) =g(x3t), thus v(x; t) =ej x3tj ; thereforeu(x; t) =e 2t+jx3tj
= ex 5t ifx < > :u t u xx+ u= 4 sin3 (x)t >0;0< x <  ; u(0; t) =u(; t) = 0t0; u(x;0) = 0 0x : Hint: since initial and boundary conditions are homogeneous, look for a solution of the form u(x; t) =+ 1 X n=1c n( t) sin(nx); Answer:Dierentiating formally the series of the solution, we get ut( x; t) =+ 1 X n=1c 0 n( t) sin(nx); u xx( x; t) =+ 1 X n=1 n2 cn( t) sin(nx);1 It may be useful to recall that sin3 () =34 sin( )14 sin(3 ). plugging these expressions in the equation, collecting similar terms and writing the right-hand side as 4 sin3 x= 3 sinxsin 3x, we obtain +1 X n=1 c0 n( t) + (n2 + 1)c n( t) sin(nx) = 3 sinxsin 3x; this leads us to in nitely many ordinary dierential equations about the functionsc n: n= 1 : the equation isc0 1( t) + 2c 1( t) = 3; its general solution is c1( t) =H 1e 2t +32 ; n= 3 : the equation isc0 3( t) + 10c 3( t) =1; its general solution is c3( t) =H 3e 10t 110 ; n6 = 1 andn6 = 3 : the equation is homogeneous:c0 n( t) + (n2 + 1)c n( t) = 0; its general solution iscn( t) =H ne (n2 +1)t ; notice also that every ordinary dierential equation in the list above solve a null initial value problem: sinceu(x;0) = 0 we can say thatc n(0) = 0 for all n, therefore H1= 32 ; H 3=110 ; H n= 0 8n6 = 1;3; the solution to our problem is then u(x; t) =32 1e 2t

Using d'Alembert formula, the solution is u(x; t) =12  (x+t)2 + (xt)2  +12 Z t 0dZ x+(t) x(t)2 2 d =x2 +t2 + 2Z t 0( t)2 d=x2 +t2 +16 t 4 : Theory question (it will be evaluated only if the total score of previous exercises exceeds 24). Givenm2N, write the formula providing all distributional solutions of the division problem u2 D0 (R) :xm u= 0 inD0 (R) and prove it.
