Simple partial differential equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the partial differential equation (PDE) represented by \(\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{(\partial)^2 T}{\partial x^2}=0\). The user calculated the determinant \(\Delta\) and derived solutions for \(T\) as \(T=-\sqrt{2}t+C_{1}\) and \(T=\sqrt{2}t+C_{2}\). Corrections were made regarding the determinant calculation, confirming \(\Delta=\frac{1}{4}\) and \(\sqrt{\Delta}=\frac{1}{2}\). The user also introduced coefficients \(\eta\) and \(\xi\) and calculated the Jacobian matrix as \(2\sqrt{2}\).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of partial differential equations (PDEs)
  • Familiarity with determinant calculations

Hello.

I have equation:

[tex]\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{(\partial)^2 T}{\partial x^2}=0[/tex]

I calculated determinant:

[tex]\Delta=(-\frac{1}{2})^2)-4\cdot 1 \cdot 0 \Rightarrow \sqrt{\Delta}=\frac{1}{2} \\ (\frac{dT}{dt})_{1}=-\frac{1}{4} \\ (\frac{dT}{dt})_{2}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

next

[tex]T=-\frac{1}{4}t+C_{1} \Rightarrow T+\frac{1}{4}t=C_{1} \\ T=\frac{1}{4}t+C_{2} \Rightarrow T-\frac{1}{4}t=C_{2}[/tex]

I am add a new coefficients [tex]\eta[/tex] and [tex]\xi[/tex], then

[tex]\xi=\frac{1}{4}t+T\\ \eta=-\frac{1}{4}t+T[/tex]

Then I calculated matrix jacobian's =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Good?

I greet

I'm not all that clear on what you are doing but that first statement is obviously untrue.
[tex]\Delta= (-\frac{1}{2})^2- 4\cdot 1 \cdot 0= \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
so
[tex]\sqrt{\Delta}= \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
not [itex]\sqrt{2}[itex] <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="" data-quote="" data-source="" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> next<br /> <br /> [tex]T=-\sqrt{2}t+C_{1} \Rightarrow T+\sqrt{2}t=C_{1} \\ T=\sqrt{2}t+C_{2} \Rightarrow T-\sqrt{2}t=C_{2}[/tex]<br /> <br /> I am add a new coefficients [tex]\eta[/tex] and [tex]\xi[/tex], then<br /> <br /> [tex]\xi=\sqrt{2}t+T\\ \eta=-\sqrt{2}t+T[/tex]<br /> <br /> Then I calculated matrix jacobian's =[tex]2\sqrt{2}[/tex]<br /> <br /> Good?<br /> <br /> I greet </div> </div> </blockquote>[/itex][/itex]
 
Thanks,

Of course, I made mistake in write. I would like solve partial differential equation but I don't have experience. I edited my post.
