Exercises: Ross Ogilvie – r.ogilvieuni-mannheim.de
tuesday 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm in B6 Teil A 101 / 301.
The first tutorial will mostly consider background material and you do not have to submit the first exercise sheet. Thereafter, please email your exercises by 12:00 the day before the tutorial, so I (Ross) can mark them and give feedback. A minimum of 50% of the exercise points is necessary to be admitted to the exam.
Exercise Sheets:
Sheet 2 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 101 – Transport Eqn, Burger's Eqn
Sheet 3 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 101- There is a justification of the entropy condition on physical grounds in Evans' book Partial Differential Equations pg 142–3.
Sheet 4 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 301 – All the points from the last exercise are to be considered as bonus points, so the sheet was out of 19. Here is a scan of the additional exercises we did in class. The quasi-linear PDE whose characteristics we looked at in (x1,x2,z) space is here. I made it so you can put in any function as the initial condition. Observe the crossing of the characteristics is when the surface is not a graph over (x1,x2).
Sheet 5 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 101 – Compact Support, Convolution
Sheet 6 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 301
Sheet 7 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 101
Sheet 8 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 301 – Spherical Means for Distributions
Sheet 9 – Solutions – All Saints Day – The tutorial will take place on Friday at 15:30 in B6 Teil A 101.
Sheet 10 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 301 – Heat Equation Examples, Heat Ball
Sheet 11 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 101
Sheet 12 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 301
Sheet 13 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 101 – Standing Waves, Reflected Waves, Video of Reflected Waves
Sheet 14 – Solutions – B6 Teil A 301
For your interest, here are two papers about PDE theory broadly: a historical perspective and on the unity of the subject.
