In this question, functions are all real-valued, and
Hpers={u=m∈Z∑u^(m)eimx∈L2:∥u∥Hs2=m∈Z∑(1+m2)s∣u^(m)∣2<∞}
are the Sobolev spaces of functions 2π-periodic in x, for s=0,1,2,…
State Parseval's theorem. For s=0,1 prove that the norm ∥u∥Hs is equivalent to the norm ||s defined by
∥u∥s2=r=0∑s∫−π+π(∂xru)2dx
Consider the Cauchy problem
ut−uxx=f,u(x,0)=u0(x),t⩾0,
where f=f(x,t) is a smooth function which is 2π-periodic in x, and the initial value u0 is also smooth and 2π-periodic. Prove that if u is a smooth solution which is 2π-periodic in x, then it satisfies
∫0T(ut2+uxx2)dt⩽C(∥u0∥H12+∫0T∫−ππ∣f(x,t)∣2dxdt)
for some number C>0 which does not depend on u or f.
State the Lax-Milgram lemma. Prove, using the Lax-Milgram lemma, that if
f(x,t)=eλtg(x)
with g∈Hper0 and λ>0, then there exists a weak solution to (1) of the form u(x,t)=eλtϕ(x) with ϕ∈Hper. 1. Does the same hold for all λ∈R ? Briefly explain your answer.
