    Solving Linear Second Order PDE with Mixed Derivative Term?

    I think I need to take a book out from the library and refresh myself on PDEs etc. As far as S being a rotation matrix, that makes sense, as the equation is the second derivative of the field in the direction which is omega degrees from the y-axis in the x-y plane. The motivation is that I...

    Solving Linear Second Order PDE with Mixed Derivative Term?

    Ok, so in my system: \sin^2 \omega u_{xx} + 2 \sin \omega \cos \omega u_{xy} + \cos^2 \omega u_{yy} = D This gives: M = \left[ \begin{array}{c c} \sin^2\omega & \sin\omega\cos\omega\\ \sin\omega\cos\omega & \cos^2\omega\end{array}\right] which has: S = \left[ \begin{array}{c c} -\cot\omega...

    Solving Linear Second Order PDE with Mixed Derivative Term?

    I follow everything up to this point, S in my case being S=\left[ \begin{array}{c c} -\cot\omega & \tan\omega\\ 1 & 1\end{array}\right] However thereafter I'm lost. Or rather I don't understand how to apply the knowledge of S to the system to be able in the end to derive u_{xy} (or u_{yy}.

    Solving Linear Second Order PDE with Mixed Derivative Term?

    Given the available conditions, assuming the solution: u = c_1 + c_2x + c_3y + c_4xy + c_5x^2 + c_6y^2 It is not possible to find either c_4 or c_6

    Solving Linear Second Order PDE with Mixed Derivative Term?

    I've tried and failed to search for this on the forum, so apologies if this has been answered many times before. Given a variable u which is a function of x and y: u = u\left(x,y\right)\\ is it possible to solve the pde: Au_{xx} + 2Bu_{xy} + Cu_{yy} = D\\ The knowns are: The real...
