(i) Find w:[0,∞)×R⟶R such that w(t,⋅) is a Schwartz function of ξ for each t and solves
wt(t,ξ)+(1+ξ2)w(t,ξ)=g(ξ),w(0,ξ)=w0(ξ),
where g and w0 are given Schwartz functions and wt denotes ∂tw. If F represents the Fourier transform operator in the ξ variables only and F−1 represents its inverse, show that the solution w satisfies
∂t(F−1)w(t,x)=F−1(∂tw)(t,x)
and calculate limt→∞w(t,⋅) in Schwartz space.
(ii) Using the results of Part (i), or otherwise, show that there exists a solution of the initial value problem
ut(t,x)−uxx(t,x)+u(t,x)=f(x)u(0,x)=u0
with f and u0 given Schwartz functions, such that
∥u(t,⋅)−ϕ∥L∞(R)⟶0
as t→∞ in Schwartz space, where ϕ is the solution of
−ϕ′′+ϕ=f.
