Remember the heat flow equation? We obtained that it's solution could be expressed in the form:
$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty c_{n}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)\quad\text{for}\quad0\leq x\leq L$$
But what is $c_{n}$? They are the coefficients of a fourier transform. We want to develop a way to compute them.
Let's derive how to compute the coefficients of a fourier transform. (feel free to skip to the end)
$f(x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_{n}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)$ where L is length of the rod
This is a Fourier series:
$f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left( a_{n}\cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right) + b_{n}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L}\right) \right)$
$x \in [-L,L]$
almost everywhere piecewise continuous (?)
has a lot of benefits over taylor series. $f(x)$ doesn't have to be infinitely differentiable (analytic)
f(x) can even have jump discontinuities
lets assume the equation is true when $x \in [-L,L]$
$\int _{-L} ^L f(x) \, dx=\int _{-L}^L \frac{a_{0}}{2} \, dx+\int _{-L}^L (\text{put summation here}) \, dx$
$\int _{-L}^L \cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right) \, dx=\frac{L}{n\pi}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)|_{-L}^L=0$
same for $\int _{-L}^L \sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)\, dx=0$ (it equals 0)
so
$\int _{-L} ^L f(x) \, dx=\int _{-L}^L \frac{a_{0}}{2} \, dx+\int _{-L}^L0 \, dx$
$\int _{-L} ^L f(x) \, dx=\int _{-L}^L \frac{a_{0}}{2} \, dx+\int _{-L}^L0 \, dx$
$a_{0}=\frac{1}{L}\int _{L}^{2?a_{0}L} f(x) \, dx$
$\int _{-L}^L f(x)\cos\left( \frac{m\pi x}{L} \right)\, dx=\frac{a_{0}}{2}\cancelto{ 0 }{ \int _{-L}^L \cos\left( \frac{m\pi x}{L} \right) \, dx }+\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left( a_{n}\int _{-L}^L\cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)\cos\left( \frac{m\pi x}{L} \right) \, dx \right)+b_{n}\int _{-L}^L \sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)\cos\left( \frac{m\pi x}{L} \right) \, dx$
use trig identities (will be provided on exam):
$\cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta)=\frac{1}{2}(\cos(\alpha-\beta)+\cos(\alpha+\beta))$
$\sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta)=\frac{1}{2}(\sin(\alpha+\beta)+\sin(\alpha-\beta))$
$\sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)=\frac{1}{2}(\cos(\alpha-\beta)-\cos(\alpha+\beta))$
$\int _{-L}^L \cos \frac{n\pi x}{L}\cos \frac{m\pi x}{L}\, dx=\frac{1}{2}(\int _{-L}^L \left( \cos \frac{(n-m)\pi x}{L} \right) \, dx+\cancelto{ 0 }{ \frac{\cos(n+m)\pi x}{L} }dx$
$= \begin{cases}0 & n\ne m \\L & n=m\end{cases}$
$\int _{-L}^L \sin \frac{n\pi x}{L}\cos \frac{m\pi}{L} \, dx=0;$
$\int _{-L}^L \sin \frac{n\pi x}{L}\cos \frac{m\pi}{L} \, dx=\begin{cases}0 & n\ne m \\L & n=m\end{cases}$
going back,
$$a_{m}=\frac{1}{L}\int _{-L}^L f(x)\cos \frac{m\pi x}{L} \, dx \quad\text{valid for all }m=0,1,2,\dots$$
$$b_{m}=\frac{1}{L}\int _{-L}^L f(x)\sin \frac{m\pi x}{L} \, dx=b_{m} \quad m=1,2,\dots$$
now we know how to compute the coefficients for Fourier series!
properties:
for functions $f$, $g$, If $\int _{-L}^Lf(x)g(x) \, dx=\begin{cases}0 & f\ne g \\L & f=g \end{cases}$
then $f, g$ are orthogonal
the forier expantion is called an ortho normal expansion, taylor is not ortho normal.

last lecture we derived how to find the coefficients in a fourier series.
$f(x)=\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left( a_{n}\cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right) + b_{n}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L}\right) \right)$
$x \in [-L,L]$
### Theorem:
If $f$ and $f'$ are piecewise continuous on $[-L,L]$, then the fourier series converges to:
$\frac{1}{2}(f(x^-)+f(x^+))$ for all $x \in (-L,L)$
Basically meaning, the fourier series converges.
At $x=\pm L$ the fourier series converges to $\frac{1}{2}(f(-L^+)+f(L^-))$
![[Partial differential equations (lec 26-27) 2023-11-22 13.15.26.excalidraw]]
### Theorem:
If f(x) is continuous on $(-\infty,\infty)$ and $2L$ periodic and if $f'$ is continuous, then the taylor series converges to $f(x)$ everywhere

#ex lets compute the fourier transform of:
$f(x)=\begin{cases}1, & -\pi\leq x\leq 0 \\x, & 0<x\leq \pi\end{cases}$
L here is $\pi$ clearly.
lets find the coefficients $a_{n}$ and $b_{n}$
$a_{n}=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( \int _{-\pi}^0 \cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{\pi} \right)\, dx +\int _{0}^\pi x\cos(nx)\, dx\right)$
using integration by parts for second term:
$=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( \frac{1}{n}\cancelto{ 0 }{ \sin(nx) }|_{-\pi}^0 +\frac{1}{n}\left( x\cancelto{ 0 }{ \sin(nx) }|_{0}^\pi-\int _{0}^\pi \sin(nx) \, dx \right)\right)$
$a_{n}=\frac{1}{n^2\pi}(\cos(nx)|_{0}^\pi)=\frac{1}{n^2\pi}((-1)^n-1)$ $n=0,1,2,\dots$
now lets find $b_{n}$
$b_{n}=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( \int _{-\pi}^0\sin(nx) \, dx+\int _{0}^\pi x\sin(nx) \, dx \right)$
$=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( \frac{-1}{n}\cos(nx)|_{-\pi}^0-\frac{1}{n}\left( x\cos(nx)|_{0}^\pi-\int _{0}^\pi \cos(nx)\, dx \right) \right)$
$b_{n}=\frac{1}{n\pi}((-1)^n(1-\pi)-1)$ $n=1,2,\dots$
we find that
$a_{2n}=0$
$a_{2k-1}=-\frac{2}{n^2\pi}$ for $k=1,2,\dots$
what about when $n=0$?
$a_{0}=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( \int _{-\pi}^0 \, dx+\int _{0}^\pi x \, dx \right)$
$=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( x|_{-\pi}^0+\frac{x^2}{2}|_{0}^\pi \right)$
$=\frac{1}{\pi}\left( 0+\pi+\frac{\pi^2}{2} \right)=\frac{\pi}{2}+1$
#ex lets compute the fourier transform of $f(x)=x$ from $-\pi\leq x\leq \pi$
we have to take a windowed form of $f$ to make this possible, $L=\pi$
at the left and right edge of the interval, the fourier series is equal to 0. (from the previous theorem)
find the coefficients:
$a_{n}=\frac{1}{\pi}\int _{-\pi}^\pi x\cos(nx) \, dx=0$
Why is it zero? because the integrand is an odd function. (odd times even is odd.) and because we are integrating from $-\pi$ to $\pi$ (symmetric interval)
definition of odd: $f(x)=-f(-x)$
definition of even: $f(x)=f(-x)$
odd times even is odd.
odd times odd is even.
even times even is even.
huge exam time saving technique.
find $b_{n}$
$b_{n}=\frac{1}{\pi}\int _{-\pi}^\pi x\sin(nx) \, dx=\frac{2}{\pi}\int _{0}^\pi x\sin(nx) \, dx$
using integration by parts:
$b_{n}=\frac{2}{n}(-1)^{n+1}$
another take away: if $f$ is odd, the cos terms are 0
if $f$ is even, the sin terms are 0.
if f is only defined between 0 and L:
you can create an odd extension: $\bar{f}=\begin{cases}f(x) & 0\leq x\leq L \\-f(-x), & -L\leq x<0 & & \end{cases}$
this will contain only sin terms
you also have a choise to extend it as an even function, symmetrically across the y axis.
$\bar{f}=\begin{cases}f(x) & 0\leq x\leq L \\f(-x), & -L\leq x<0 & & \end{cases}$
this will contain only cos terms.
#end of lec 29
#start of lec 30
from last lecture:
$f(x)$ is defined on $[0,L]$
odd extention:
$\bar{f}(x)=\begin{cases}f(x), & 0\leq x\leq L \\-f(-x,) & -L\leq x<0\end{cases}$
and the $a$ coeffecients (cos terms) are zero.
not only that, but the b terms are:
$\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_{n}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right); \qquad b_{n}=\frac{1}{L}\int _{-L}^L\bar{f}(x) \sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right) \, dx$
$$b_{n}=\frac{2}{L}\int _{0}^L f(x)\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)\, dx$$
"How about that, this is called a foureir sin series."
For even extension:
$\bar{f}(x)=\begin{cases}f(x), & 0\leq x\leq L \\f(-x,) & -L\leq x<0\end{cases}$
and the $b$ coeffecients (sin terms) are zero.
not only that but the a terms are:
$\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n}\cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)$
$a_{n}=\frac{2}{L}\int _{0}^L f(x)\cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)\, dx$
remember that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty b_{n}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)$
was the expansion of the eigen value function from the heat equation?
then $\frac{a_{0}}{2}+\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n}\cos\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)$ is also an expansion of some related eigen value function.
#ex Fourier sine series for $f(x)=x^2$ from $0\leq x\leq \pi$
well that means we want the odd extension:
![[Lec 30 2023-11-24 13.15.17.excalidraw]]
the $\cos()$ ($a_{n}$) terms are zero.
the b terms are:
$b_{n}=\frac{2}{\pi}\int _{0}^\pi x^2\sin(nx) \, dx$
$=-\frac{2}{\pi n}\left[ x^2\cos(nx)|_{0}^\pi-2\int _{0}^\pi x\cos(nx)\, dx \right]$
$=-\frac{2}{n\pi}\left[ \pi^2(-1)^n-\frac{2}{n}\left( x\cancelto{ 0 }{ \sin(nx) }|_{0}^\pi-\int _{0}^\pi \sin(nx)\, dx \right) \right]$
$b_{n}=-\frac{2}{n\pi}\left[ \pi^2(-1)^n-\frac{2}{n^2}\cos(nx)|_{0}^\pi \right]=\frac{2\pi}{n}(-1)^{n+1}+\frac{4}{n^3\pi}((-1)^n-1)$
for $n=1,2,3,\dots$ note no $n=0$ so no divison by zero problems here.
#ex fourier cosine series of $f(x)=\sin(x)$ for $0\leq x\leq \pi$
![[Lec 30 2023-11-24 13.23.08.excalidraw]]
$a_{n}=\frac{2}{\pi}\int _{0}^\pi \sin(x)\cos(nx)\, dx$ for $n=0,1,2,\dots$
use trig identity: (by the way the identites will be provided in the exam.)
$=\frac{2}{\pi} \frac{1}{2}\int _{0}^\pi (\sin(1-n)x+\sin(n+1)x)\, dx$
integrating gives you:
$a_{n}=-\frac{1}{\pi} \frac{1}{n+1} (-1)^{n+1}+\frac{1}{\pi} \frac{1}{n+1}+\frac{1}{\pi} \frac{1}{n-1}(-1)^{n-1}-\frac{1}{\pi} \frac{1}{n-1}$
what about when n=0 or n=1?
$a_{0}=\frac{4}{\pi}=\frac{2}{\pi}\int _{0}^\pi \sin(x) \, dx$
$a_{1}=\frac{2}{\pi}\int _{0}^\pi \sin(x)\cos(x) \, dx=\frac{1}{\pi}\int _{0}^\pi \sin(2x)\, dx=0$
"0 is a very very special number it took humanity many numbers of years to invent 0" referring to when dividing by 0.
additionally we know that the terms cancel when:
$a_{2k-1}=0$ for $k=1,2,\dots$
$a_{2k}=\frac{2}{\pi} \frac{1}{2k+1}+\frac{2}{\pi} \frac{1}{2k-1}$ for $k=1,2,\dots$
then:
$$\bar{f}(x)=\frac{2}{\pi}+\frac{2}{\pi}\sum_{k=1}^\infty\left( \frac{1}{2k+1}+\frac{1}{2k-1} \right)\cos(2kx)$$
We have prepared ourselves now, now we start solving PDE's. He's encouraging us to attend the lectures in these last two weeks. He's making it sound like PDE's are hard.

Let's revisit the heat equation:
The first time the heat equation was introduced, we figured out that it's solution was of the form $u(t,x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty c_{n}e^{-(n\pi/L)^2Dt}\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{L} \right)$
Now that we learned about fourier series and eigen value problems, we can finally solve it! (for a given specific case.)
IBVP of heat eq:
$\frac{ \partial u }{ \partial t }=D\frac{ \partial^{2} u }{ \partial x^{2} }$ for $0\leq x\leq L$ for $t>0$
$u(t,0)=u(t,L)=0, \quad t>0$
$u(0,x)=f(x), \quad 0\leq x\leq L$
lets choose $L=\pi$
$f(x)=\begin{cases}-x & 0\leq x\leq \frac{\pi}{2} \\1-x & \frac{\pi}{2}<x\leq \pi\end{cases}$

So we have a non-uniformly heated rod with both ends insulated. What happens to the temperature inside the rod over time? <i>"\[...\]. Very interesting problem."</i> -Prof (I agree.)
If we made this a series, where would it converge? Well it's continuous from 0 to pi and its windowed form when repeated will be convergent everywhere, this is good news for us.
Separation of variables: $u(t,x)=T(t)X(x)$
theres a theorem that this will give a unique solution.
$T'X=DTX''$
$\frac{T'}{DT}=\frac{X''}{X}$
LHS is a function of t only , RHS is function of x only.
<i>"I don't know what is time, I know space, I can take a step and see the step I take, but can you see time? Can you see the future? Some can but I can't."</i> -prof. Very philosophical.
$X''+\lambda X=0$ where $X(0)=X(L=\pi)=0$
$u(t,0)=T(t)X(0)=0$
case 1) $\lambda<0$, $r_{1,2}=\pm \sqrt{ -\lambda }$
$X(x)=c_{1}e^{ \sqrt{ -\lambda }x }+c_{2}e^{ -\sqrt{ -\lambda }x }$
$X(0)=c_{1}+c_{2}=0$
$X(\pi)=c_{1}e^{ \sqrt{ -\lambda }\pi }+c_{2}e^{ -\sqrt{-\lambda }\pi }=0$
$c_{1}=c_{2}=0$
we will continue the problem in the next lecture.

This is a transcendental equation, non algebraic, cannot be solved explicitly.
Only option we have is to approximate the eigen values. there are an infinite number of them.
We have to use software in order to obtain a finite number of approximations. I like software, software is good, as long as your being mindful of how you're using it.
