uxx - x2 uyy = 0 (assume x>0)
Is there any systematic method (e.g. change of variables) to solve this hyperbolic equation?
dy/dx = [B + sqrt(B2 - AC)]/A
=> dy/dx = x
=> 2y -x2 = c
dy/dx = [B - sqrt(B2 - AC)]/A
=> dy/dx = -x
=> 2y + x2 = k
So the characteristic curves are 2y -x2 = c and 2y + x2 = k
Now does this imply that the general solution is u = f(2y-x2)+g(2y+x2) ?
Thanks!
