Additional problem
1. Solve the following problem:
∂u ∂ 2u
= , 0 < x < π, t > 0;
∂t ∂x2
∂u(π, t)
u(0, t) = 0, = 0, t > 0;
∂x
u(x, 0) = 2, 0<x<π.
Determine lim u(x, t).

Note. You can make use of the following fact. Every function f (x) continuous
and differentiable on an interval (0, L) has a Fourier sine series of the form
∞ L
(2n − 1)πx (2n − 1)πx

bn sin , where bn = f (x) sin for n = 1, 2, . . . .

Furthermore, this Fourier sine series converges to f (x) at every x ∈ (0, L).
