where a(y) is nondecreasing. Later P. Hartman and A. Wintner [1950; 367] obtained analogous results for temperatures of a finite rod (a<x<b). It is the purpose of the present paper to investigate the corresponding questions for the half-infinite rod (0<x< °°). There are two classical problems for the semi-infinite rod which may be phrased as follows: A. Determine the subsequent temperatures of the rod if it is initially at temperature f(x) and if the finite end is held at temperature 0; u(x, 0) =/(x), u(0, t) = 0. B. Determine the subsequent temperatures if it is initially at temperature 0 and if the finite end is maintained at a variable temperature (p(t); u(x, 0) =0, u(0,t)=<p(t).^ Under suitable conditions on the boundary functions the solutions are known to be (compare H. S. Carslaw and J. C. Jaeger [1948; 40-44]):
