Boundary Value Problem Requiring Quarterwave Symmetry

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on solving a boundary value problem involving two dependent variables, m(t) and n(t), under specific constraints. The constraints include first and second derivatives being zero at T=0 and t=π/2. The differential equation presented is complex, requiring an analytical approach to find suitable profiles for m(t) and n(t) that satisfy the given conditions. Participants are encouraged to explore potential profiles that meet the boundary requirements while adhering to the equation's structure.

I can't seem to find an explicit or analytical solution to a boundary value problem and thought I might ask those more knowledgeable on the subject than me. If t is an independent variable and m(t) and n(t) are two dependent variables with the following 8 constraints:

a) m' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2 b) n' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2
c) m' ' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2 d) n' ' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2

I need to solve the following differential equation:

(((1+1/4)+((pi/2-t)+m)/pi)∙(1+m^' )+((3-1/4)-((pi/2-t)-n)/pi)∙(1-n^' )) + (((1+1/4)+(t+m)/pi)∙(1+m^' )+((3-1/4)-(t-n)/pi)∙(1-n^' )) = 1

for m(t) and n(t), you can assume a profile for one of them as long as it is satisfies the conditions listed above. Thus far I've had no luck finding a profile for both that can satisfy those boundary conditions.

Here's a slightly easier to read version, I didn't see the formatting errors when I copied it over from equation editor:
[itex](((1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{(\frac{pi}{2}-t)+m}{pi})∙(1+m' )+((3-\frac{1}{4})-\frac{(\frac{pi}{2}-t)-n}{pi})∙(1-n' )) + (((1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{t+m}{pi})∙(1+m' )+((3-\frac{1}{4})-\frac{t-n}{pi})∙(1-n' )) = 1[/itex]
