Homework 1 due Tues.Sept2 Read quickly Notations section, Appendix A of Evans. Evans exercises: 1.5 #1(a)(b), #4 Just do the case n=2 . Also you can use the standard Taylor's Theorem for 1 variable that you find in any beginning calculus book. 2.5 #1,#2 Extra exercise. (now due Thurs.Sept.4) Find infinitely many distinct continuously differentiable nonnegative functions u on the real line satisfying the two conditions: u'(t) = 2 sqrt[u(t)] for all t and u(0) = 0 . [Here: "continuusly differentiable" means that the derivative u'(t) exists and is continuous.] Hints: 1. When you integrate to find solutions, there is a constant of integration. 2. Note that you can make a continuously differentiable differentiable function by putting together 2 adjacent C^1 graphs which touch at the common endpoint and share the same tangent line there. For example, |x^3| comes from -x^3 on the left and x^3 on the right.
