The eqaution is:
(1.1)
With boundary condition
(1.2)
And initial conditions
(1.3)
The steady state is, by definition:
(1.4)
The function is now only x-dependent so the partial derivatives become full derivatives and the ordinary differential equation is
(1.5)
And the boundary conditions must still hold:
(1.6)
Integrating (1.5) twice we obtain:
(1.7)
Applying boundary conditions we get the steady state solution.
(1.8)
We would like to turn the system into a homogenous system.
So we write:
(1.9)
When we apply it to the original equation we get:
(1.10)
If we set
(1.11)
the equation becomes homogenous.
For the boundary conditions we ...
