3 (a) Use the method of separation of variables to derive a series solution of the fol-
lowing heat equation :
ut(x, t) - kuxx(x, t) = 0,
u(0, t) = u(L, t) = 0,
0 < x < L, 0 < t,
0≤t,
u(x,0) = (x), 0 ≤ x ≤ L,
where k and I are given positive constants and is a given twice-differentiable
function.
(b) Write down a formula for the solution of the heat equation in part (a) when the
function is given by the following formula:
*(x) = 5 sin (3x)
L
(c) State the Maximum / Minimum Principle for the heat equation.
(d) Show that the solution you found in part (a) satisfies the Maximum / Minimum
Principle for the heat equation.
(e) Use the Maximum / Minimum Principle for the heat equation to show that there
is at most one solution of the heat equation in part (a).
