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 \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.
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
