Hi!

I've studied ODE's but not Partials DE.

in ODE one uses linearization method to linearize an non-linear system of equations.

My question is:

The method of finding normal coordinates for say, a dynamical system, is that the correspondent of the method i described above but for PDE??


thanks.
