(∂^2)(z) / (∂x)(∂y) = (x^2)(y)

how do find the general solution of this equation?

and how do i find a particular solution for which

z(x,0) = x^2
z(1,y) = cosy

I have no idea!

Welcome to PF, ArainGrass! :smile:

Integrate with respect to x and add an integration constant which is a function of y.
Integrate again with respect to y and add another integration constant which is a function of x.
Finally, find out what your integration-constant-functions are using your boundary conditions.
 
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...
