Find surface of

$\begin{array}{l}
\text{Problem Cauchy} \\
{a^2} \cdot {x_2} \cdot u \cdot {u_{{x_1}}} + {b^2} \cdot {x_1} \cdot u \cdot {u_{{x_2}}} = 2{c^2}{x_1}{x_2}{\rm{ }} \\
\end{array}$
The partial differntial equation passes through

${\rm{ C: = \{ }}\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1,{x_3} = u({x_1},{x_2}) = 0\} \\
\\ $$a,b,c$ nonzero constants

First. I think you should be consistent with your notation. Either use $$x$$ and $$y$$ or $$x_1$$ and $$x_2$$ but not both. It's confusing.

Second, as you have the boundary of an ellipse, have you thought of introducing new coordinates

$$x = a r \cos \theta, y = b r \sin \theta?$$

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...
