Hello to everyone,

I urgently need to solve the following pde: ∂u/∂t +∂²u/∂x² = So*δ(x-xo)*sin(wo*t)

It's the heat equation with a cyclic source. The lentgh of the cable is L.

I have no clue how to do this with such a source, all i have learned was to do a separation of variables, but it does not seem to work in my case.

Anybody can help or has an interesting link for me?

Well, I'm not sure I can help out immediately. However, Carslaw and Jaeger is the standard, comprehensive book on the heat equation, and would be the most likely book to help you out. Check to see if your school's library has it.

I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
