1/sin(phi) * d/d\phi(sin(phi) * du/d\phi) - d^2u/dt^2 = -sin 2t

for 0<\phi < pi, 0<t<\inf

Init. conditions:

u(\phi,0) = 0
du(\phi,0)/dt = 0 for 0<\phi<pi


How do I solve this problem and show if it exhibits resonance?

the natural frequencies are w = w_n = sqrt(/\_n) =2, correct?

Can u use the LaTex code...?Just type it using [ tex ] ...[ /tex ] (without the spaces,of course) and the compiler will do the rest.

To solve this problem, we can use the method of separation of variables. We can assume that the solution can be written as u(\phi,t) = X(\phi)T(t). Substituting this into the given equation, we get:

1/sin(phi) * d/d\phi(sin(phi) * X'(\phi)T(t)) - d^2(X(\phi)T(t))/dt^2 = -sin 2t

Rearranging and dividing by X(\phi)T(t), we get:

1/sin(phi) * d/d\phi(sin(phi) * X'(\phi))/X(\phi) = -d^2T(t)/dt^2 - sin 2t/T(t)

The left side of the equation only depends on \phi, while the right side only depends on t. Therefore, both sides must be equal to a constant, which we will call -\lambda. This gives us two separate equations:

1/sin(phi) * d/d\phi(sin(phi) * X'(\phi))/X(\phi) = -\lambda

d^2T(t)/dt^2 + (sin 2t + \lambda)T(t) = 0

Solving the first equation, we get:

X(\phi) = A_n * sin(sqrt{\lambda_n}\phi) + B_n * cos(sqrt{\lambda_n}\phi)

where \lambda_n = n^2, n = 1,2,3,...

Solving the second equation, we get:

T(t) = C_n * sin(sqrt{\lambda_n}t) + D_n * cos(sqrt{\lambda_n}t)

where C_n and D_n are constants determined by the initial conditions.

Thus, the general solution is given by:

u(\phi,t) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (A_n * sin(sqrt{\lambda_n}\phi) + B_n * cos(sqrt{\lambda_n}\phi)) * (C_n * sin(sqrt{\lambda_n}t) + D_n * cos(sqrt{\lambda_n}t))

To determine if this solution exhibits resonance, we need to look at the natural frequencies, which are given by \omega_n = \sqrt{\lambda_n} = n. In this case, the natural frequencies are not equal to the forcing frequency, which is \omega = \sqrt{2}. Therefore, we can conclude that
 
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...
