Exercise Set: Finite Difference Methods for Hyperbolic PDEs.

1. Use the Finite-Difference method with (a) h = 0.1, k = 0.05, to approxi-


mate the solution to the hyperbolic problem

∂t2 ∂x2
with the boundary conditions

u(0, t) = 0 = u(1, t), 0 ≤ t,

and the initial conditons


∂u
u(x, 0) = sin(πx), (x, 0) = 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
∂t
and compare the results at t = 0.5 with the exact soltuion u(x, t) =
sin(πx) cos(2πt).
