Question 4,
for the Laplace equation on a rectangle nC R?, n = {0 < x <a,0 <y < b}
Ux+ Uyy = 0,
U(x,0) = 0,
U(0, y) = g(y),
(x,y) En
U(x,b) = 0
U(a, y) = 0.
%3D
(a) Following the method of separation of variables consider solutions of the form
U(x, y) = X(x)Y(y),
where X and Y are functions of a single argument. Show that X and Y satisfy
the ordinary differential equations
X" = kX
y" = -kY
for some constant k. Moreover, show that Y(0) = Y(b) = X(a) = 0.
(b) Show that the constant k obtained in (a) must be positive if Y (y) is not
identically 0 for y e [0,b).
(c) Find the general solution to the ordinary differential equations in (a).
(d) Use the conditions Y(0) = Y(b) = 0 to determine the value of the constant k
and show that the solutions Y obtained in (c) must be of the form
(nny
Y(y) = sin (),
n = 1,2,3, ...
Moreover, show that if X(a) = 0, then
(ηπ(x- a)
X(x) = sinh
n = 1,2,3,...
(e) Use the Principle of Superposition to find the general solution to the Laplace
equation on the rectangle N with the prescribed boundary conditions.
(f) Briefly explain how would you solve the general problem
Ux+Uyy = 0,
U(x,0) = fi(x),
u(0, y) = g1(y),
(x,y) En
U(x, b) = f2(x)
U(a, y) = 82(y).
You may use a diagram to explain your idea.
