18.311 Principles of Applied Mathematics: Mit Opencourseware

This document provides the instructions for problem set #2 of the course 18.311 Principles of Applied Mathematics at MIT. The problem set consists of 5 problems involving asymptotic analysis techniques such as perturbation methods and singular perturbation methods to approximate solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations. Students are asked to find asymptotic expansions of the roots of a quintic polynomial, solve a boundary value problem using perturbation methods, and obtain uniform approximations to solutions of several other boundary value problems involving small parameters.

Please make this your title page and write your name in the box above. Excluding exceptional circumstances, late homework will not be accepted. Make an extra eort to explain your solutions with maximum clarity. Points will be deducted for unclear/incomplete explanations. AMSYL stands for any mathematical software you like, such as Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, etc.

Problem Set #2 (due in class Thursday Feb. 26). 2.1. (15pts) Find two-term asymptotic expansions of all ve roots of the following innocentlooking quintic: x5 2x2 + = 0. a) First, try the nave expansion x = x0 + x1 + 2 x2 + .... to quickly face a diculty of nding x0 , x1 , ... To get out of the trouble, rescale x by guring out possible dominant balances in the equation and then continue nding the expansions in the new rescaled variables. b) For both = 0.1 and = 1, nd the numerical values of the roots from your solution in part a) and compare them against those found by a root solver in AMSYL. What is the accuracy of your approximate solution (i.e. calculate the relative error, assuming the roots found by AMSYL are exact)? 2.2. (15pts) Consider the boundary value problem: x , y (0) = 0, y (1) = 1. y = 3y cos 2 a) Compute the numerical solution of this problem using AMSYL and plot it. b) Now solve x y = y cos , y (0) = 0, y (1) = 1 2 by a perturbation method assuming 0 to at least two terms, i.e. y = y0 (x) + y1 (x) + O (2 ). Take = 3 in this solution and compare it to the numerical solution found in part a), i.e. plot the two solutions together on a single graph. Comment on the accuracy of the asymptotic solution. 2.3. (10pts) Use singular perturbation methods to obtain a uniform approximate solution to the following problem: y + 2y + y = 0, y (0) = 0, y (1) = 1. 2.4. (10pts) Obtain a uniform approximation to the solution of the BVP: y (2x + 1) y + 2y = 0, y (0) = 1, y (1) = 0. 2.5. (10pts) Consider the initial value problem, x + x 3 + x = 0, x (0) = 0, x (0) = 1. Assuming the multiple-scale expansion x = x0 (t, ) + x1 (t, ) + ...., where = t, obtain the leading-order solution x = x0 (t, ) + O (). Give physical interpretation of the problem and its solution.
