The discussion focuses on solving the partial differential equation (PDE) represented by the equation \(\frac{\partial U}{\partial t} + ax\frac{\partial U}{\partial x} + b\frac{\partial^2 U}{\partial x^2} = 0\) using analytical techniques and LaTeX code. The solution involves transforming the PDE into a form that utilizes the integral representation \(U(t,x)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty F(x,\tau)e^{it\tau}\,d\tau\). The resulting function \(F(x,\tau)\) is expressed in terms of Kummer functions, specifically \(KummerM\) and \(KummerU\), leading to the general solution \(U(t,x)=xe^{-\frac{ax^2}{2b}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty [H1(\tau)KummerM(-\frac{-2a+i\tau}{2a},\frac{3}{2},\frac{ax^2}{2b})+H2(\tau)KummerU(-\frac{-2a+i\tau}{2a},\frac{3}{2},\frac{ax^2}{2b})]e^{it\tau}\,d\tau\), where \(H1\) and \(H2\) are arbitrary functions.
