PDE with boundary conditions
Full question
A function u(x,y) has two independent variables x and y and satisfies the 1st order PDE
[tex]x \frac{du}{dx} - \frac{y}{2}\frac{du}{dy}= 0[/tex]
by first looking for a separable solution u(x,y)=X(x)Y(y), find the general solution of the equation.
determine the u(x,y) that satisfies the boundary condition u(1,y) = 1 + sin y
a. Relevant equations
[tex]x \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{y}{2} \frac{du}{dy}[/tex]
[tex]u(x,y)=X(x)Y(y)[/tex]
a. The attempt at a solution
i think I've got this right:
so i sub in X(x)Y(y) and get
[tex]x Y(y) \frac{dX(x)}{dx} = X(x) \frac{y}{2}\frac{dY(y)}{dy}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{X(x)}\frac{dX(x)}{dx} = \frac{y}{2Y(y)}\frac{dY(y)}{dy} = c[/tex]
this gives
[tex]\int\frac{1}{X(x)} dX = \int\frac{c}{x} dx[/tex]
[tex]ln[\frac{X(x)}{A_{1}}] = c ln[x][/tex]
[tex]X = A_{1} x^{c}[/tex]
doing the same for y gives
[tex]Y = A_{2} y^{2c}[/tex]
so
[tex]u(x,y) = X(x)Y(y) = A_{1}A_{2}x^{c}y^{2c} = A (x y^{2})^{c}[/tex]
or with [tex]b=2c[/tex] [tex]u=A(y \sqrt{x})^{b}[/tex]
b. relevant equations
however when i apply the boundary condition i get
[tex]1 + Sin[y] = A y^{b}[/tex]
b. attempts and ideas
i tried a few e^-iy routes e.g [tex]\frac{e^{-iy}-e^{iy}}{2i} = Sin[y][/tex] but i don't think that helps
the only thing i can think is that i have to relate a power series of a^b to 1 + Sin[a] but i can't remember what a^b is is it related to e^b
which is [tex]\sum\frac{x^{n}}{n!}[/tex]
or have a i gone wrong already?
