24.9 Problem. Prove the following "comparison" principle for the heat equation. Suppose
that fi, f2 C(R) are bounded with f₁(x) <f2(x) for all x and u and v solve
UtUrx, xER, t>0
u(x, 0) = f(x), ER
and
VtVxx, xЄR, t> 0
v(x, 0) = f(x), x ЄR.
Prove that either u(x,t) = v(x,t) for all x R and t> 0 or that u(x, t) < v(x, t) for all
xER and t> 0.
