find the general solution of yux+xuy=yu+xex ( the solution is in the form of u(x,y)=yex+f(y2-x2)ex )
if at first the value of u(x,y) on the upper half of hyperbola (that is y>=1) has been given as φ,show that if φ has not been given as a special form there is no solution.find that special form of φ and show there is infinite solution in this situation.

thanks for your advice
i tried the method of characteristics,but i can not find the solution :blushing:
 
The characteristic equations are
<br /> \dot{x}=y,\quad\dot{y}=x,\quad\dot{u}=yu+xe^{x}<br />
then the characteristic are given as dy/dx=x/y. Then this integrates up to f(x,y)=C. Then use du/dx=\dot{u}/\dot{x} and integrate up.

i found the general solution of the equation. thanks for your helps
but i can't understand anything rest of the question.i am waiting for your helps.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
