Hello,

I derived a model in the form

\begin{array}{rcl}\frac{\partial U(\vec{x},t)}{\partial t}&=&\gamma^2\Vert\nabla U(\vec{x},t)\Vert,\\\int_{\Omega}U(\vec{x},t)\, d \Omega&=&U_0,\quad\forall t\\U(\vec{x},0)&=&f(\vec{x}).\end{array}

I don't know to solve that.

THanks for help.

This looks like the heat equation.So, I suggest seperating variables.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
