Hello i want to solve

\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}=\frac{\partial v_1\rho}{\partial x_1}+\frac{\partial v_2\rho}{\partial x_2}

for v_1 = -x_2 and v_2=x_1

i obtain equation

\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}+x_2\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial x_1}-x_1\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial x_2}=0

Charakteristik system is

\begin{array}{rcl}t'&=&1\\x_1'&=&x_2\\x_2'&=&-x_1\end{array}

Thanks

I need to find two functions I_1, I_2 constant on charakterstics and write general solution

u(x,y,t)=\varphi(I_1,I_2)

I found one function

I_1=x_1^2+x_2^2

I don't know to find second one with t. Thx
