MHB Looking at a solitary initial state

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on analyzing the deformation of a solitary initial state defined by the equation u0(x) = a0x^2(1-x)^2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and u0(x) = 0 for x > 1. The user notes that deformation will not occur if a constant c is maintained. Participants emphasize the need for additional context, specifically the relevant differential equation and the initial problem setup. Clarification is sought regarding the variable c and its role in the analysis. The conversation highlights the importance of providing a complete framework to effectively investigate the deformation process.

I have this equation

u0(x) = a0x2(1-x)2 for 0≤ x ≤ 1
= 0 for x>1
i have to investigate how will a solitary initial state such as the one above deform as time goes on.

I know it will not deform if c is constant. when they say I must do this by a well-lnown method and produce video frmaes, could you suggest which methods to use

We need a lot more context to help you out, I think.

1. Where is the differential equation? All I see here is a function definition.

2. In what context does this differential equation arise? Can you give us the initial problem?

3. What is $c$?
