Problem set 5, PDE

Problem 1


Classify the following second-order PDE.

  1. $latex \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n \partial^2_{x_i x_i}u + \sum_{1\le i<j\le n} \partial^2_{x_i x_j}u = 0$

  2. $latex \displaystyle \sum_{1\le i<j \le n} \partial^2_{x_i x_j}u = 0$


Problem 2


Use energy methods to discuss the uniqueness of the problem

$latex \begin{cases} \Delta u - u^3 = f & \text{in }\Omega\\u = \phi & \text{on }\partial\Omega.\end{cases}$



Problem 3


Let $latex \Omega$ be a bounded $latex C^1$-domain in $latex \R^n$ and u be a $latex C^2$-function in $latex \bar\Omega\times[0,T]$ satisfying

$latex \begin{cases} u_t - \Delta u = f & \text{in }\Omega\times(0,\infty)\\ u(\cdot, 0) = u_0 & \text{in }\Omega\\ u=0 & \text{on }\partial\Omega\times(0,\infty).\end{cases}$


Then

$latex \displaystyle \sup_{0\le t \le T} \int_\Omega |\nabla u(\cdot,t)|^2 dx + \int_0^T\int_\Omega |\partial_t u|^2 dx dt \le C\Big( \int_\Omega |\nabla u_0|^2 dx + \int_0^T\int_\Omega |f|^2 dxdt \Big),$


where C is a positive constant depending only on $latex \Omega$.

Problem 4


Verify the identity

$latex \displaystyle \frac{1}{2\pi} + \frac{1}{\pi} \sum_{k=1}^\infty r^k \cos k(\theta - \eta) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{1 - r^2}{1 - 2r\cos(\theta - \eta) + r^2}.$
