Time-dependent boundary conditions

Though this question arose in quantum mechanics, i think it should be posted here.
Consider a particle in a well with infinite walls:
<br /> $i i \frac{\partial \Psi}{\partial t} = -\frac12 \frac{\partial^2 \Psi}{ \partial x^2},\:0&lt;x&lt;a$<br />
but the wall start to squeeze :devil:
$\Psi(x=0,t) \equiv 0$
$\Psi(x=a-t,t) = 0$
In the beginning the state function is known
$\Psi(x,t=0) = \varphi(x)

What is the method for solving this type of PDE?

Have you try taking Laplace transform?

No success? Try another method, separating the variables.
 
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...
