Let's solve the problems step by step: --- ## 1. (a) Fourier Series for \( f(t) \): Given: \( f(t) \) is a periodic square wave of period 2, with value 1 for \( 0 < t < 1 \), 0 for \( 1 < t < 2 \), extended periodically. ### Fourier Series Coefficients The general Fourier series for a function of period \( T \) is: \[ f(t) = a_0 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left[ a_n \cos \left( \frac{2\pi n t}{T} \right) + b_n \sin \left( \frac{2\pi n t}{T} \right) \right] \] Where: - \( a_0 = \frac{1}{T} \int_{c}^{c+T} f(t) dt \) - \( a_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_{c}^{c+T} f(t) \cos \left( \frac{2\pi n t}{T} \right) dt \) - \( b_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_{c}^{c+T} f(t) \sin \left( \frac{2\pi n t}{T} \right) dt \) Here, \( T=2 \), and we can take one period as \( 0 < t < 2 \): #### (i) \( a_0 \): \[ a_0 = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^2 f(t) dt = \frac{1}{2} \left( \int_0^1 1 dt + \int_1^2 0 dt \right) = \frac{1}{2} (1) = 0.5 \] #### (ii) \( a_n \): \[ a_n = \frac{2}{2} \int_0^2 f(t) \cos (n\pi t) dt = \int_0^2 f(t) \cos (n\pi t) dt \] But \( f(t) = 1 \) for \( 0 < t < 1 \), 0 otherwise: \[ a_n = \int_0^1 \cos (n\pi t) dt + \int_1^2 0 \cdot \cos(n\pi t) dt = \int_0^1 \cos (n\pi t) dt \] Integrate: \[ \int_0^1 \cos (n\pi t) dt = \left[ \frac{\sin (n\pi t)}{n\pi} \right]_0^1 = \frac{\sin (n\pi)}{n\pi} - \frac{\sin (0)}{n\pi} = 0 \] So, **\( a_n = 0 \) for all \( n \geq 1 \)**. #### (iii) \( b_n \): \[ b_n = \int_0^2 f(t) \sin (n\pi t) dt = \int_0^1 \sin (n\pi t) dt \] Integrate: \[ \int_0^1 \sin (n\pi t) dt = \left[ -\frac{\cos (n\pi t)}{n\pi} \right]_0^1 = -\frac{\cos (n\pi)}{n\pi} + \frac{\cos (0)}{n\pi} = \frac{1 - \cos(n\pi)}{n\pi} \] But \( \cos(n\pi) = (-1)^n \): \[ b_n = \frac{1 - (-1)^n}{n\pi} \] So, for even \( n \), \( b_n = 0 \), for odd \( n \), \( b_n = \frac{2}{n\pi} \). --- ### **Final Answers for 1(a):** \[ \boxed{ \begin{align*} (i) \quad & a_0 = 0.5 \\ (ii) \quad & a_n = 0 \\ (iii) \quad & b_n = \frac{1 - (-1)^n}{n\pi} \end{align*} } \] --- ## 1. (b) Piecewise Function \( f(t) \): Given: \[ f(t) = \begin{cases} 1-t, & 0 < t \leq 1 \\ 1, & 1 < t \leq 2 \end{cases} \] ### (i) **Sketching Odd and Even Periodic Extensions** - **Odd-periodic extension**: Extend \( f(t) \) by reflecting it across the t-axis and changing sign for negative intervals. - **Even-periodic extension**: Extend \( f(t) \) by reflecting it across the y-axis without changing sign. *(You can sketch these as described.)* --- ### (ii) **Fourier Sine Expansion** On \( (0,2) \): General form: \[ f(t) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} B_n \sin\left( \frac{n\pi t}{2} \right) \] where \[ B_n = \frac{2}{2} \int_0^2 f(t) \sin\left( \frac{n\pi t}{2} \right) dt = \int_0^2 f(t) \sin\left( \frac{n\pi t}{2} \right) dt \] Split the integral: \[ B_n = \int_0^1 (1-t) \sin\left( \frac{n\pi t}{2} \right) dt + \int_1^2 1 \cdot \sin\left( \frac{n\pi t}{2} \right) dt \] You can compute these integrals using integration by parts for the first, and direct integration for the second.

(a) **Heat Equation by Separation of Variables** Given: \[ 5 \frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial x^2} = \frac{\partial U}{\partial t} \] Boundary: \( U(0,t) = 0, U(4,t) = 0 \) Initial: \( U(x,0) = 2 \sin\left( \frac{3\pi}{2} x \right) \) ### Step 1: Assume Solution Let \( U(x,t) = X(x)T(t) \). Plug into the PDE: \[ 5 X''(x)T(t) = X(x)T'(t) \implies \frac{T'(t)}{5T(t)} = \frac{X''(x)}{X(x)} = -\lambda \] So, - \( X'' + \lambda X = 0 \) - \( T' + 5\lambda T = 0 \) ### Step 2: Solve for \( X(x) \) Boundary: \( X(0) = 0, X(4) = 0 \) General solution: \( X(x) = A \sin(\sqrt{\lambda} x) \) So, \( X(4) = 0 \implies \sin(\sqrt{\lambda} \cdot 4) = 0 \implies \sqrt{\lambda} \cdot 4 = n\pi \implies \lambda_n = \left( \frac{n\pi}{4} \right)^2 \) ### Step 3: Solve for \( T(t) \) \( T'(t) + 5\lambda_n T = 0 \implies T(t) = C e^{-5\lambda_n t} \) ### Step 4: General Solution \[ U(x,t) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} A_n \sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{4} \right) e^{-5 \left( \frac{n\pi}{4} \right)^2 t} \] ### Step 5: Use Initial Condition \( U(x,0) = 2 \sin\left( \frac{3\pi}{2} x \right) \) But \( \frac{3\pi}{2} x = \frac{n\pi x}{4} \implies n = 6 \) Thus, \[ U(x,0) = A_6 \sin\left( \frac{6\pi x}{4} \right) = A_6 \sin\left( \frac{3\pi x}{2} \right) \] So \( A_6 = 2 \), all other \( A_n = 0 \). ### Step 6: Final Answer \[ \boxed{ U(x, t) = 2 \sin\left( \frac{3\pi x}{2} \right) \exp \left[ -5 \left( \frac{9\pi^2}{16} \right) t \right] } \] --- **If you want the detailed calculation for the Fourier Sine coefficients in 1(b)(ii), let me know!**
