Homework Statement


now I have a PDE
$$u_{xx}+u_{yy}=0,for 0<x,y<1$$
$$u(x,0)=x,u(0,y)=y^2,u(x,1)=0,u(1,y)=y$$
Then I want to know whether there are some method to make the PDE become homogeneous boundary condition.
$$i.e. u|_{\partialΩ}=0$$

Could you solve the PDE if the boundary conditions had zero along three sides and a function along the fourth side? For example ##u(x,0)=x,u(0,y)=0,u(x,1)=0,u(1,y)=0##? Say you do that and call the solution ##u_1(x,y)##. Treat the other sides similarly. Then if you sum your solutions they will solve the homogeneous DE and the sum will satisfy all your BC's.

Actually the method I want to use need the boundary condition be all zero.
like the 1D case , $$u_{xx}=0 ,a<x<b, u(a)=\alpha, u(b)=\beta$$
the we can use $$u'=u-\beta+\frac{(x-b)(\beta-\alpha)}{a-b}$$
so $$u'_{xx}=0 , a<x<b , u'(a)=0, u'(b)=0$$
I would want to find whether there are similar method can work in 2D case.
Actually my prof. has told us that we can use some linear transform to do it.
But I have no idea.
Thank you :)
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
