I've run across a PDE that (since I've failed to take a PDE class!) I'm finding some difficulty in solving. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's on a function R(r,t), with functions a(r,t) and b(r,t) and a constant k. If it's easier to solve with a and b not having t-dependence (just being a(r) and b(r)) I'd be curious to know - I'm not sure if that affects things.
Here's the PDE:
R = k(-e-2a Rtt + e-2b Rrr +[ar + br + 2/r] e-2b Rr)
I'd really appreciate any help! I have a couple of ways of attacking this problem (I also have R defined in terms of derivatives of a and b) but I think a solution to this PDE in terms of a, b, r, and t would be incredibly useful. Thanks!
