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 $c$?
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
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...
