Set up and solve the given BVP heat problem. Suppose
there is a rod of length L coinciding on the x-axis from 0 ≤ x ≤ L
with insulated ends, and with an initial temperature profile of
f(x).
Solve the Heat Equation
In his question use the heat equation as it is given then try to find the boundary conditions.
Use the point insulated ends to find the boundary conditions.
Then apply the separation of variables to find the general solution and hence at last use the Fourier series to calculate the remaining constants and thus we have the solution.
