I have the following problem:
----------------------
Calculate all the C2-solutions z(x,y) to the differential equation:

with the following constraint:

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 [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial x}[/itex] and [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial y}[/itex] are in terms of [itex]u[/itex], [itex]v[/itex] and the differential operators [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial u}[/itex] and [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial v}[/itex]. 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.
