Solution of $u_t=mathcal{F}u$












5












$begingroup$


I tried to solve the equation $u_t=mathcal{F}u$, where $mathcal{F}$ denotes the Fourier transform, with initial data $u(x,0)=u_0(x)$. The solution should be given by
$$
u(x,t)=e^{mathcal{F}t}u_0=left(sum_{jgeq0}frac{mathcal{F}^jt^j}{j!}right)u_0(x)
$$

and I looked for an explicit expression of it in terms of $u_0$. Since $mathcal{F}^2=(cdot)^check{}$ (the operator that maps $v(x)mapstocheck{v}(x):=v(-x)$), we have that $mathcal{F}^3=mathcal{F}^{-1}$ and $mathcal{F}^4=id$. Suppose $u_0$ is a Schwartz function so all of this makes sense. Then we have
$$
u(x,t)=left(sum_{jin4mathbb{N}}frac{t^j}{j!}+sum_{jin1+4mathbb{N}}frac{t^j}{j!}mathcal{F}+sum_{jin2+4mathbb{N}}frac{t^j}{j!}(cdot)check{}+sum_{jin3+4mathbb{N}}frac{t^j}{j!}mathcal{F}^{-1}right)u_0(x)
$$


Next i wrote the function $u_0=phi+psi$, where $phi$ is even and $psi$ is odd, namely
$$
phi(x)=frac{1}{2}(u_0(x)+u_0(-x))quadtext{and}quadpsi(x)=frac{1}{2}(u_0(x)-u_0(-x))
$$

In this way (recalling that Fourier transform of an even function is odd and viceversa) one computes
$$
u(x,t)=sum_{jinmathbb{N}}frac{t^{2j}}{(2j)!}phi(x)+sum_{jinmathbb{N}}(-)^jfrac{t^{2j}}{(2j)!}psi(x)+sum_{jinmathbb{N}}(-)^jfrac{t^{2j+1}}{(2j+1)!}mathcal{F}phi(x)+sum_{jinmathbb{N}}frac{t^{2j+1}}{(2j+1)!}mathcal{F}psi(x)
$$

which equals
$$
u(x,t)=cosh(t)phi(x)+cos(t)psi(x)+sin(t)mathcal{F}phi(x)+sinh(t)mathcal{F}psi(x).
$$

The problem is that now, trying to check
$$
u_t(x,t)=sinh(t)phi(x)-sin(t)psi(x)+cos(t)mathcal{F}phi(x)+cosh(t)mathcal{F}psi(x)
$$

and
$$
mathcal{F}u(x,t)=cosh(t)mathcal{F}phi(x)+cos(t)mathcal{F}psi(x)+sin(t)phi(x)-sinh(t)psi(x)
$$

they are not equal. Is my calculation wrong? Every help is extremely appreciated.

          As you noted, $mathcal{F}^4=I$. So
          $$
          (1-lambda^4)I=(mathcal{F}^4-lambda^4 I)=(mathcal{F}-lambda I)(mathcal{F}^3+lambdamathcal{F}^2+lambda^2mathcal{F}+lambda^3I)
          $$

          which gives
          $$
          (lambda I-mathcal{F})^{-1}=frac{1}{lambda^4-1}(mathcal{F}^3+lambda mathcal{F}^2+lambda^2mathcal{F}+lambda^3 I)
          $$

          So, the following is evaluated by computing residues at $1,i,-1,-i$:
          $$
          e^{tmathcal{F}}=frac{1}{2pi i}oint_{C}e^{lambda t}(lambda I-mathcal{F})^{-1}dlambda \
          =frac{1}{2pi i}oint_{C}frac{e^{lambda t}(mathcal{F}^3+lambdamathcal{F}^2+lambda^2mathcal{F}+lambda^3I)}{(lambda-1)(lambda-i)(lambda+1)(lambda+i)}dlambda
          $$
