Yes - if one uses the Laplace Transform (which takes an equation from time domain to frequncy domain) then I believe it is the same problem. I'm expecting the problem is separable, i.e. Y(z,t) = Z(z)T(t). See if that works.jimmygriffey said:Yes, it is δ(t). The one is very similar to the previous one. After taking Laplace transform in t, this one will become the previous one. If I use the method pointed by other people, I have hard time to convert back (inverse Laplace transform) to time domain. That's why I ask the question again.

To solve a PDE with initial and boundary conditions, you must first identify the type of PDE (e.g. elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic) and the specific form of the equation. Then, you can use various techniques such as separation of variables, method of characteristics, or finite difference methods to solve the equation.
Initial conditions specify the values of the solution at the starting point, while boundary conditions specify the values of the solution at the boundaries of the domain. These conditions are necessary to uniquely determine the solution to a PDE, as they provide additional information to supplement the equation itself.
One way to check the accuracy of your solution is by plugging it back into the original PDE and verifying that it satisfies the equation and all of the specified conditions. You can also compare your solution to known analytical or numerical solutions, if available.
Yes, there are many software and programming options available for solving PDEs with initial and boundary conditions. Some popular choices include MATLAB, Mathematica, and Python libraries such as SciPy and SymPy. These tools often have built-in functions and packages specifically designed for solving PDEs.
The best way to improve your skills is through practice and studying various techniques and methods for solving PDEs. You can also seek out resources such as textbooks, online courses, or workshops, and work on solving a variety of PDE problems with different types of initial and boundary conditions.
