1. Given a fixed rectangular area with sides x and y and a communication that is proportional to the perimeter, 2(x + y), show that the minimum communication is given by x = y (i.e., a square). 2....

1. Given a fixed rectangular area with sides x and y and a communication that is proportional to the perimeter, 2(x + y), show that the minimum communication is given by x = y (i.e., a square).

2. Write a parallel program to solve the one-dimensional problem based upon the finite difference equation
