To find all C2-solutions z(x,y) to the given differential equation, start by substituting u=xy and v=x. Calculate the differential operators ∂/∂x and ∂/∂y in terms of u and v, which will help derive the second-order operators. Substitute these expressions back into the original partial differential equation (PDE) and simplify the result. Most terms will cancel during this process, leading to a more manageable equation to solve. This approach is essential for progressing towards the solution of the differential equation.

by making the substitution u=xy, v=x


------------------------

Solution
I've begun slightly but this doesn't take me far..

Start by working out what the differential operators \frac{\partial}{\partial x} and \frac{\partial}{\partial y} are in terms of u, v and the differential operators \frac{\partial}{\partial u} and \frac{\partial}{\partial v}. From these you can find expressions for the second-order operators.

Now substitute these expressions into the original PDE, and tidy up the result. You should find that most of the terms cancel.
