3 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page of 3 Problem Consider the following function: f(x) = sin(πx) x +, a) Find a polynomial p(x), of lowest possible degree, that interpolates f at the points (0, f(0)), (0.5, f(0.5)), (, f()). Solution: Three points may be interpolated with a quadratic polynomial p(x). Using Lagrange interpolation p(x) = (x )(x ) (x 0)(x ) x(x ) 0 = 8 x( x). 3 ) π sin( ( ) + b) Use p(x) to estimate the integral I = 0 f(x) dx. Solution: Since p(x) is a good approximation to f(x), we have that I 0 p(x) dx = x( x) dx = = 4 9. c) By using p(x), determine a polynomial q(x) that interpolates f at the point (.5, f(.5)) in addition to the points given in a). Solution: We want to determine the polynomial q(x) using p(x). Hence, we write q(x) as a sum of p(x) and a polynomial which is zero in the points given in a: q(x) = p(x) + x(x )(x ) C, 3 where C is to be determined such that q(.5) = f(.5). Hence, C = f(.5) p(.5) = sin ( ) 3π ( 3 ) = 8 5, and consequently, q(x) = 8 3 x( x) + (x 3 5 x ) (x ).

Since g(x) and g(x) cos(nx) are odd functions, we know that a 0 = 0 and a n = 0,

5 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page 3 of 3 for all n. Moreover, since g(x) sin(nx) is an even function b n = π = π π π π 0 = 4 π π 0 g(x) sin(nx) dx f(x) sin(nx) dx x sin(nx) dx + 4 π (π x) sin(nx) dx π = 4 x cos(nx) x= π π cos(nx) π + dx n x=0 0 n + 4 (π x) cos(nx) x=π π π n x= π π = 4 [ π ( ) π π n cos n + π ( )] π cos n = 8 π n sin (n π We can further write this as ). Hence, b n is totally described by 8, n =, 5, 9,..., π n b n = 0, n =, 4, 6, 8,...,, 8 n = 3, 7,,..., π n π cos(nx) n dx + 8 π n sin (n π b n+ = ( ) n 8 π (n + ), n = 0,,,..., b n = 0, n =,, 3,.... The Fourier series of g(x) is thus given by g(x) = which concludes the answer. ( ) n 8 sin((n + )x), π (n + ) ) b) Using the Fourier series of g, prove that = π 8.

6 Page 4 of 3 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Solution: By setting x = π in the Fourierseries of g(x), we find that ( ) π ( ) n 8 g = ((n π (n + ) sin + ) π ) ( ) n 8 = (nπ π (n + ) sin + π ) ( ) n 8 8 = π (n + ) ( )n = π (n + ). Since g( π ) =, we see that which is what we were asked to show. (n + ) = π 8, c) An approximation of f using N Fourier components is given by S N (x) = Prove that the L -error: satisfies the bound N E = π ( ) n 8 sin ((n + )x). π (n + ) π 0 E < S N (x) f(x) 8 π (N + ). Solution: From Parseval s identity, we have that E = π S N (x) f(x) dx π 0 = π S N (x) g(x) dx π π = = b n n=n n=n ( 64 π 4 < 64 π 4 64 π 4 (n + ) 4 ) (N + ) n=n ( ) (N + ) dx, (n + ) (n + ).

7 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page 5 of 3 From the previous exercise, we know the value of the sum on the right-hand side and hence we may conclude that E < 64 ( π 4 (N + ) ) π 8 = 8 π (N + ). Problem 3 By using Fourier transform, determine the function u(t, x) that satisfies the following partial differential equation: u t u xx + u = 0, x R, t > 0, u t=0 = u 0, x R, where u 0 (x) is a given function. Solution: Let û(t, ω) denote the Fouriertransform of u(t, x) in x. That is, û(t, ω) = π u(t, x)e ixω dx. By applying Fouriertransform to the partial differential equation and using that û xx = (iω) û = ω û, we obtain the first order separable ordinary differential equation: The solution of this ODE is û t + ω û + û = 0. û(t, ω) = û 0 (ω) e ω t t. From the Formulas given at the end of the exam, we see that ê ax = e ω 4a a With a =, we see that 4t x e 4t = e ω t t

8 Page 6 of 3 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Hence, we can take the inverse transform to obtain that u(t, x) = u 0 (x) ( ) e x 4t e t, 4πt where we have used that f g = π fĝ, which is also given in the formulas at the end of the exam. Problem 4 Consider the following partial differential equation: u t tu xx = 0, x (0, ), t > 0, u = 0, x = 0 og x =. a) Find all non-trivial solutions of the form u(t, x) = G(t)F (x). Solution: We begin by inserting the assertion u(t, x) = G(t)F (x) in the PDE to obtain that G (t)f (x) tg(t)f (x) = 0. By dividing by tg(t)f (x), we obtain that Hence, we have the following two ODEs: G (t) tg(t) = F (x) F (x) = k constant. G (t) ktg(t) = 0, F (x) kf (x) = 0. The second ODE will have two different types of solutions according to the sign of k. If k > 0, then F will be of the form F (x) = Ae kx + Be kx. However, this cannot satisfy the boundary conditions. That is, F (0) = 0 and F () = 0 can only happen if F (x) 0 when k > 0. Hence, we must have that k < 0. For convenience, let us now write k = λ. Then, the solutions to the above ODEs are G(t) = Ce λ t, F (x) = A cos(λx) + B sin(λx).

9 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page 7 of 3 To satisfy boundary conditions, we need that F (0) = 0 and F () = 0. For the first requirement, we see that For the second requirement, we see that F (0) = A A = 0. F () = B sin(λ) λ = nπ. Hence, for any choice of constants C and B and any integer n, we have found that G(t)F (x) = CBe n π t sin(nx), solves the PDE with the given boundary conditions. Hence, all non-trivial solution can be obtained by summing over all possible choices of constants C, B, and frequencies n yielding u(t, x) = B n e (nπ) t sin(nx). (Since C and B only appear as CB this only provides one degree of freedom which we denote by B n ). b) Determine the unique solution u(t, x) satisfying the initial condition: u t=0 = sin(πx) sin(30πx) + 7 sin(πx). Solution: We are now to determine the coefficients B n in u(t, x) to satisfy the given initial value. That is, find B n such that u(0, x) = B n sin(nx) = sin(πx) sin(30πx) + 7 sin(πx). We readily see that, B =, B 30 = 5 3, B = 7, B n = 0, n,, 30. Hence, the solution u(t, x) is given by u(t, x) = e π t sin(πx) + 7 e () π t sin(πx) e (30) π t sin(30πx).

10 Page 8 of 3 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Problem 5 Formulate Jacobi s method for solving the linear system 3 x 0 3 y = z 0 5 and perform two iterations with starting vector of your own choice. Prove that the iteration will converge. Solution: Jacobi s method for the given linear system is x k+ = 3 6 yk 3 zk, y k+ = 6 xk, z k+ = 5 yk x k. Starting with (x 0, y 0, z 0 ) = (0, 0, 0), we obtain x = 3, y =, z = 0. and x = = 7 y = 6 3 = 7 8 z = 5 3 = 3 30 Next, we turn to the issue of proving convergence of the method. This was by far the most difficult question in the exam and you should not despair if you could not do it. The primary difficulty lies in the matrix not being diagonal dominant. We begin by defining the following matrix A = () 0 5

11 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page 9 of 3 and the vectors x k = [ x k, y k, z k] T [ and b =,, 3 0] T. Then, the Jacobi method may be written x k+ = b A x k. Let us then estimate x k+ x k. Using the method, we see that x k+ x k = A ( x k x k ). By iteratively applying the previous identity, we find that x k+ x k = A ( x k x k ) = A ( x k x k ) = ( ) k A k ( x x 0 ). Hence, we have that x k+ x k A k x x 0, k, where A denotes the maximal eigenvalue (in absolute value) of A. As a consequence, we can conclude that the method converges provided the spectral radius A <. The eigenvalues of A is given as the zeros of the polynomial p(λ) = det(a λi) = λ λ Hence, it remains to prove that any λ satisfying p( λ) = 0, also satisfies λ <. By differentiating with respect to λ, we see that p (λ) = 3λ , and hence the local minima and maxima of p(λ) is located at 3 λ = ± 08 <. Moreover, since p (λ) = 6λ, λ = 3 is a local maxima and λ = 08 3 is a 08 local minima. This means that p(λ) is strictly decreasing for λ > 3 and strictly 08 increasing for λ < So are the zeros of p(λ) in absolute value less than? To check this, we first calculate p() = = < 0.

12 Page 0 of 3 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions and p( ) = = > 0. Since p(λ) is strictly decreasing on the interval λ > and p() < 0, all zeros of p(λ) satisfies λ <. On the other hand, we know that p(λ) is strictly increasing as λ becomes more negative than λ =. Since p( ) > 0, this means that there can be no zeros of p(λ) with λ. Hence, all three zeros of p(λ) must be strictly in the interval (, ) which means that all eigenvalues of A have absolute value strictly less than and hence the method converges. Problem 6 In this assignment, we want to determine a numerical approximation to the solution of the following wave equation: u tt u xx = sin(t), x (0, ), t > 0, u(t, 0) = 0, t > 0, u(t, ) = 0, t > 0, u t=0 = 0, x (0, ), u t t=0 =, x (0, ). (3) Formulate a method that provides a numerical approximation to the solution u. What is the order of your method? Solution: We discretize the domain (0, ) into N points with spacing h. That is, through the points x i = ih, i = 0,..., N, h = N. Next, we discretize time through the points t n = n t, n = 0,,, 3,... where t is an undetermined step-size. Next, we will approximate u(t, x) at these points using the notation u(t n, x i ) u n i, i = 0,..., N, n = 0,,, 3,....

13 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page of 3 To approximate the derivatives in the PDE, we shall use the central differences u tt (t n, x i ) un+ i u n i + u n i t, u xx (t n, x i ) un i+ u n i + u n i h. In this way, we obtain the following method to determine the approximation u n i u: of. Set the initial u 0 i and u i as follows: u 0 i = 0, i = 0,..., N, u i = t, i = 0,..., N.. Determine sequentially u n+ i, i = 0,..., N, as follows: - For i =,..., N, u n+ i = u n i u n i + ( t) (u n h i+ u n i + u n i ) + ( t) sin(n t), - At the boundary, set u n+ 0 = 0, u n+ N = 0. This method is second-order in t and h. Problem 7 Use Laplace-transform to determine the function y(t) satisfying the following ordinary differential equations: a) y y 6y = 0, y(0) = 6, y (0) = 3. Solution: By taking the Laplace transform, we obtain (s s 6)Y (s) = (s )6 + 3 = 6s + 7. A simple division and factorization then provides Y (s) = 6s + 7 (s 3)(s + ) = 5 s 3 + s +.

14 Page of 3 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Hence, we see that solves the ODE. y(t) = 5e 3t + e t, b) y + 3y 4y = δ(t ), y (0) = y(0) = 0. Solution: By taking the Laplace transform, we obtain Dividing and factorizing provides Y (s) = This, we recognize as the inverse of (s + 3s 4)Y (s) = e s e s (s )(s + 4) = e s 5(s ) e s 5(s + 4). y(t) = 5 where H is the heaviside function. ( e t e 4(t )) H(t ), Problem 8 A signal is stored in the vector y = [y 0, y,..., y N ], where y i are real numbers. ŷ = fft(y) is such that where x k = πk N. y k = N N ŷne inx k, a) The signal represents a sound signal that is T seconds long. What is the frequency of the component described by ŷne inx k N? You do not have to consider aliasing in this task. Solution: The component N ŷne inx k is an interpolant for the function N ŷne inx. This function completes n periods when x goes from 0 to N. Thus, the frequency is f n = n T.

15 Matematikk 4M and 4N - Solutions Page 3 of 3 b) The following matlab-function takes a vector y and a positive integer k(< N/) as input, and returns a vector ynew. Given that y represents a sound signal that is T seconds long, describe ynew. function ynew = mystery(y,k) N = numel(y); % number of elements in y. z = fft(y); znew = zeros(n,); for i = :k znew(i) = z(i); end znew(n:-:floor(n/)+) = conj(znew(:ceil(n/))); % ensures that ynew is real ynew = ifft(znew); end Solution: The function computes the Fourier transform z = fft(y). Then it copies the first k components of z to znew, enforces the symmetry and calculates ynew = fft (znew) This corresponds to copying the k lowest frequencies from y to ynew. (This operation is known as a high-pass filter.) ynew is a sound signal of the same length as y and consists of the frequency components with f < f k = k T.
