ProblemSet6

This document is a problem set for an Applied Mathematics course focused on the formation and solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs). It includes various exercises for forming PDEs by eliminating arbitrary functions, solving specific PDEs for functions of two and three variables, and applying Lagrange’s method. Additionally, it presents initial value problems and Cauchy problems related to linear and semilinear PDEs.

Formation and Solutions of PDEs


1. Form a partial differential equation by eliminating the arbitrary functions ϕ, F, f , g etc.
from each of the following.
a) z = ϕ( x2 − y2 ) b) lx + my + nz = ϕ( x2 + y2 + z2 )
c) ϕ( x + y − z, x2 − y2 − z2 ) = 0 d) x − y + z = ϕ( x2 − y2 + z2 )
e) F (z − xy, x2 + y2 ) = 0 f) F ( xyz, x + y + z) = 0
g) z = f ( x2 − y) + g( x2 + y) h) z = y f ( x ) + xg(y)

2. Solve the following PDEs for u = u( x, y).


a) uy = 0 b) uy = x c) uy = xy
d) u xx = 0 e) u xy = 0 f) uyy = 0
y
g) u xx = xy h) u xy = x i) xu xx = u x

3. Solve the following PDEs for u = u( x, y, z).


a) u x = 0 b) u xy = 0
c) uzz = 0 d) u xyz = 0

4. Use Lagrange’s method to solve the following PDEs for z = z( x, y).


a) x2 p + y2 q = ( x + y) z b) y2 + z2 − x2 p − 2xyq + 2zx = 0


c) z2 − pz + qz + ( x + y)2 = 0 d) pz ( x + y) + qz ( x − y) = x2 + y2

5. Solve the following initial value problems for u = u( x, y) and determine the values of
x and y for which the solution exists.
a) u x − 2uy = u; u(0, y) = y b) y−1 u x + uy = u2 ; u( x, 1) = x2
c) xu x − 2yuy = u2 ; u( x, x ) = x3 d) ( x − y)u x + uy = x; u( x, 0) = f ( x )
1
e) (u + 2y)u x + uuy = 0; u( x, 1) = x

6. Find the integral surface for the linear PDE


u x + 2uy = 0
subject to the Cauchy condition that u = sin x on y = 3x + 1.
7. Find the solution of the Cauchy problem governed by the semilinear PDE
xu x + yuy = xe−u

subject to the Cauchy data u = 0 on y = x2 .
