Is Von Neumann stability analysis for homogenous PDE different from inhomogenous one?

67 Views Asked by At

I'm working on nonhomogenous heat equation and the stability using Von Neumann for the implicit Euler method on $u_{t}-cu_{xx}=f(t,x)$, from the title is there any difference between the homogenous and nonhomogenous case? when applying $u_{i}^{n}=\lambda e^{ikhi}$ to the numerical method I got a term with $f$ and I don't know how can I deal with this term.. I appreciate any help:)
