I have the following PDE:
\frac{\partial f(r,t)}{\partial t} \, \, \frac{\partial g(r,t)}{\partial r} = \frac{\partial f(r,t)}{\partial r} \, \, \frac{\partial g(r,t)}{\partial t}
By a simple check, I know a solution is f = h(g), where h() is arbitrary function. The Maple PDE solver returns exactly that.
How can I prove, f=h(g) is the ONLY type of solution of that PDE?
