1. Homework Statement :
A function f : R → R is called “even across x∗ ” if f (x∗ − x) = f (x∗ + x) for every x and is called “odd across x∗ ” if f (x∗ − x) = −f (x∗ + x) for every x. Define f (x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ ℓ by setting f (x) = (x^2) . Extend f to all of R (i.e., define f (x) for all real x) in such a way that it is odd across x∗ = 0 and even across x∗ = ℓ.
2. Homework Equations :
1. conservation equations (transport): concentration, flux
(a) flow (flux = vu ) — fluid, traffic, etc.
(b) mixing: diffusion/dispersion (probability; flux = D ∇u )
reaction/diffusion systems
2. mechanics (Newton’s 3rd Law): force, potential energy, momentum
(a) wave equation; ICs and BCs
(b) beam, plate equations
3. steady state (equilibrium: balance equations)
4. some other examples . . . (e.g., Cauchy-Riemann equations)
**Also studying the heat equation/etc**
3. The Attempt at a Solution :
I understand the difference between "even" and "odd". I have created the following:
f(ℓ-x)=f(ℓ+x) even at "ℓ"
f(0-x)=-f(0-x) OR f(-x)=-f(x) odd at "0"
I think I need to use the above IC's to setup the BC's. Once I have the BC's determined I am not sure how to combine them to find the full equation for f (x) or where to start with f (x) = (x^2).
Please help!
