Wave equation with initial and boundary conditions.

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a wave equation with specified initial and boundary conditions. The original poster presents a function and seeks clarification on how to demonstrate that it satisfies these conditions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need to verify the function against the boundary and initial conditions by substituting appropriate values for x and t. There is a focus on understanding the requirements for proving the function's validity.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with some participants providing hints and guidance on how to approach the verification process. There is an acknowledgment of the method suggested in earlier posts, but no consensus has been reached on the specific steps to take.

Contextual Notes

Participants express a desire to clarify their understanding of the problem rather than solve it outright. The original poster emphasizes the need for proof rather than a solution to the boundary value problem.

Hallo Every one,

Homework Statement



y(x,t)=sin(x)cos(ct)+(1/c)cos(x)sin(ct)

Boundary Condition:

y(0,t)=y(2pi,t)=(1/c)sin(ct) fot t>0

Initial Condition :

y(x,0)=sin(x),( partial y / Partial t ) (x,0) = cos(x) for 0<x<2pi


show that y(x,t)=sin(x)cos(ct)+(1/c)cos(x)sin(ct) satisfies the one dimensional wave equation together with boundary and initial conditions.



Please anyone can clearify the question for me so i can solve it.

Just i want to know how i can prove that the given function satisfies the Boundary condition and initial condition.
 
The boundary and initial conditions have been given. Now you just have to plug the appropriate values for x and t belonging to said conditions into your solution.
 
iam not trying to slove the boundary value problem

i want to prove that the given function satisfy the boundary and initial condition.
 
Yep and post #3 gave you the method as to how to do just that.

Hint: what is the x value that belongs to the given boundary condition?
 
thanks Cyosis

Just i concentrate and i solve it
