Problem:
Find the solution of the Cauchy problem for the heatconduction equation:
\[
\left\{\begin{array}{l}
\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}=a^{2} \frac{\partial^{2} T}{\partial x^{2}}, \quad(0 \leq x \leq 4) \\
\left.T\right|_{x=0}=T(0, t)=0 \\
\left.T\right|_{x=4}=T(4, t)=0 \\
T(x, 0)=f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
0, & 0 \leq x<1 \\
1, & 1 \leq x \leq 4
\end{array}\right.
\end{array}\right.
