We consider the domain D=Semi-infinite symbolically (0, ∞) and for the case of drichlet
boundary condition at the specific end point x=0, so form of the problem is defined as;
Vt kVxx 0 , 0 x , 0 t
V ( x, 0) ( x), for t 0 (1)
V (0, t ) 0, for x 0
As ( x ) ( x) satisfies (0) 0 .Now the initial data ( x) of our problem is defined only for
x≥0. Let odd ( x) be the unique function on the whole line.

V(x,t) will be unique solution of equation (1) there is no any other variation on
V ( x, t ) and U ( x, t ) except that the negative values of x are not considered.

We conclude that the even functions rather than odd functions in this case of the reflection
method we know a function is said to be even if ( x) ( x) derivative of even function will
be odd function.so directly it is zero at origin '(0) 0 , If ( x) is defined only on the half line
with even extension.

There is only difference between in general solution of diffusion equation on half line problem
with drichlet boundary condition and Neumann boundary condition is negative sign in between
exponential which is appeared in general solution.
We conclude form Neumann boundary condition means (there is no heat flux is equal to multiple
of some constant with spatial derivative of the temperature)
The physical understanding of equation (13) the integrand is the commitment of ( y ) in addition
to an extra commitment which originates from the absence of heat moving to the points of rod
with negative coordinates.
We have to simplify for split up integrate into two parts one negative values of x and other
positive values of x.

Now we will derive the formula for wave equation for semi-infinite domain 0 < x < ∞, Consider
drichlet boundary condition with initial boundary value problem,
Vtt c 2Vxx 0 , 0 x , 0 t
V ( x, 0) ( x) , Vt ( x, 0) ( x) , x 0 (1)
V (0, t ) 0, t 0
Boundary condition shows that the end of string at x=0 is fixed, we can deduce equation number
(1) into whole for using reflection method. Here we introduce same idea as we already above
discussed in diffusion equation for whole line problem, So we extend the initial data ( x) and
( x ) to the whole line as the boundary condition satisfied IVP on the whole line domain with
extend initial data.
( x) for x 0
odd ( x) 0 for x 0
( x) for x 0 (2)

U ( x,0) odd ( x) , U t ( x, 0) odd ( x)
Therefor IVP are odd due to above initial data we define the restriction of solution U(x,t) to
positive with half line.
V ( x, t ) U ( x, t ) x 0 (4)
We have V (0, t) = U (0, t) = 0, clearly shows drichlet condition satisfied for V. The preliminary
situation are satisfied as nicely since the restriction satisfied of odd ( x) and odd ( x) to positive
half line are ( x) and ( x) respectively, finally V(x,t) solves the wave equation for x0, due to
the fact U(x,t) satisfies the wave equation for all x and particularly for x0. So V(x,t)
represent the solution of required drichlet problem. It shows that the solution must be a unique
according to condition of whole line with extended initial data, therefore must be a unique
