Given [tex]\frac{\partial^2 V}{\partial u \partial v} = 0[/tex], the solution is [tex]V_1(u) + V_2(v)[/tex] for arbitrary [tex]V_1 , V_2[/tex].

I solve to get [tex]\frac{\partial V}{\partial u} = V_3(u)[/tex] and then [tex]V = \int V_3(u) du + C[/tex] Where V_3, C are arbitrary.

How could I transform my latter solution into the first solution? Don't V_1, V_2 have to have some properties such as differentiability? (I found this in a physics textbook)
