For the <advection-diffusion equation> $u_t=u_{xx}+2au_x$, the multiplication $w=e^{ax}u$ gives $w_t=w_{xx}-a^2w$. A <Dirichlet boundary condition> remains a prescribed value, multiplied by $e^{ax}$ at the endpoint. This real exponential conjugation removes the first <derivative> without changing a bounded spatial interval.
