    Graduate 1st order PDE, seems easy but still confusing

    The general solution to your PDE is q(x,y,t) =C(x,axt+y)\exp(\frac{xy}{a}+\frac{y^3}{3ax}), where C(x,y) is an arbitrary function. So q(x,y,t) =δ(x,axt+y)\exp(-\frac{t(a^2t^2x^2+3atxy+3x^2+3y^2)}{3}) is the solution with q(x,y,0) =δ(x,y).

    Undergrad Please if anyone can help me to solve this differential equation.

    The general solution to your ODE is as follows y(x) = -3x(x-3)\ln(x)+[(-\frac{1}{2}x^2+x)\int_{-x}^∞ \frac{\exp(-t)}{t}dt -\frac{1}{2}\exp(x)(x-1)]C_1-\frac{x^3+9}{2}+x^2C_2+xC_3 where C_i are arbitrary constants.

    Graduate Causality and the inhomogeneous wave equation with a moving source

    Unfortunately, I can not grasp the physical sense of your problem out of hand from your picture, but it seems to me that you may analyse the analytical solution of your problem. For linear A(x)=ax+b the general solution to your PDE is relatively easy: u(t,x) =...

    Graduate How Do You Solve the PDE u_x + x u_y = u + x with Initial Condition u(x,0)=x^2?

    The main idea: If the homogeneous DE \alpha(x,y)\frac{\partial s(x,y)}{\partial x}+\beta(x,y)\frac{\partial s(x,y)}{\partial x}=0 is solvable (it is sufficient to find any particular solution), then DE of the following type \alpha(x,y)\frac{\partial p(x,y)}{\partial...

    Graduate How Do You Solve the PDE u_x + x u_y = u + x with Initial Condition u(x,0)=x^2?

    The general solution to your PDE is u(x,y) = -1-x+e^x F(x^2-2y), where F is an arbitrary function. Your boundary condition leads to F(t) = (1+t^{1/2}+t)exp(-t^{1/2}), where t=x^2-2y.

    Graduate Solve Non-Linear DEs w/ Many Consts Using Mathematica

    Unfortunately I can not realize your goal here. If you interested in steady state conditions, you have to consider the right equations from the top three expressions + the fourth and try to solve this algebraic system. It’s really easy! (There is misprint in fourth expression! Examine...

    Graduate Solving Second-Harmonic Generation Phase Mismatch - Exact Solution?

    It seems to me that something is wrong here. Your B(t)=tanh(t); A(t)=i.sech(t) is not a solution to your system when s=0. Or I misunderstand your notations.

    Graduate PDE with non-constant coefficient

    I'm sorry for misprint. The right answer is w(x,y)=\int_{-\infty}^{-\infty} \{F_1 (\omega) AiryAi [-((A\omega^2+C)/B)^{1/3}x]+F_2 (\omega) AiryBi [-((A\omega^2+C)/B)^{1/3}x]\}\exp(y\omega)d\omega ,

    Graduate PDE with non-constant coefficient

    Your PDE A\frac{\partial^2 w(x,y)}{\partial y^2}+\frac{B}{x}\frac{\partial^2 w(x,y)}{\partial y^2}+Cw(x,y) = 0 can be solved by the Laplace transform. The general solution is as follows w(x,y)=\int_{-\infty}^{-\infty} F_1 (\omega) AiryAi [-((A\omega^2+C)/B)^{1/3}x]+F_2 (\omega) AiryBi...

    Graduate Help with PDE: F(t)g(r)+V/R Derivative

    Your PDE can be solved with help of Laplace transform method. For your purpose it'll be better the following form of general solution ( I assume that in fact R is r) x(t,r) = \frac{1}{r}[\int_c^tf(\xi)g(vt-v\xi+r)(vt-v\xi+r)d\xi+F(vt+r)], where F(z) is an arbitrary function, c is an...

    Graduate Solving Cauchy Prob: y'=sin(x+y+3) y(0)=-3

    You get \frac{d u}{dx} = 1+\sin(u) and then \int\frac{d u}{1+\sin(u)} = x+C, where C is an arbitrary constant, or -\frac{2}{\tan[\frac{u}{2}]+1}= x+C so the general solution to your ODE is y(x) = -2\arctan(\frac{2+x+C}{x+C})-x-3 Substituting x=0 you find that C=-2, so...

    Graduate Find solution with initial value

    Your ODE is not an ODE with constant coefficients, so it can not be solved by Laplace Transform. An integrating factor to your ODE \mu=t\exp(-\frac{t^2}{2}) and corresponding first integral is I=\exp(-\frac{t^2}{2})(t\frac {d y}{d t}-y+1)+C1 in sense that \frac {d I}{d...
