Consider the 1-dimensional heat equation u_t = u_{xx} over the x-interval [0,Pi] with zero end temperatures and initial temperature u(x,0)=sin(3x)-sin(5x).
The solution u(x,t) given by separation of variables is
Below is the plot of this solution as a function of x in [0,Pi] for time t in [0,0.8]. Note that the steady-state temperature is zero.
