 Solution

After multiplying the initial field by $e^{\beta x/2}$, the $y$ dependence is exactly the $n=2$ cosine mode. Its orthogonality therefore gives $A_{mn}=0$ when $n\ne 2$. For $n=2$, the remaining Fourier coefficient in the Fourier sine series isThusThe coefficients are independent of $\beta$, because the initial exponential exactly cancels the drift-removing weight. Substitution into the preceding expansion gives the full subsequent solution, with decay rates $m^2{\pi }^2+9{\pi }^2/4+{\beta }^2/4$.
