  1. Describe a Galerkin solution to

    displaymath30

    Find the truncation error in the results.

  2. Discuss the variational formulation of the fourth order problem

    displaymath32

    displaymath34

    Note that all these boundary conditions are essential for a fourth order equation. So what boundary conditions would you impose on v(x)? What would be the bilinear and linear operators? What smoothness would you impose on the solution. Would linear splines work?
