A proposition about heat equation

18 Views Asked by At

Given this partial differential equation:

$$\left\{\begin{matrix} u_t = u_{xx}\\ u(x,0)=g(x), x\in\mathbb{R} \end{matrix}\right.$$

The solution is:

$$u(x,t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi t}}\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{\frac{-(x-y)^2}{4t}}g(y)dy$$

The proposition that we have to prove is:

$$|u(x,t)| \leq \max_{x\in\mathbb{R}}|g(x)| ,\forall t>0$$

Any ideas?
