I was given as a task to solve this question by my teacher (heck if I had the time I would have solved every problem in both Taylor's and Evans's books on PDE); but didn't succeed to the teacher's satisfaction.

In the following link there's a presentation of the problem, and in the attachment my failed attempt at solving it (it should have been part of my thesis I guess :-( ):

Any help on how to solve this?
In the attachment there's the latex file with the remarks my teacher gave me. (His remarks are between the two lines with*******).

Perhaps one day I'll get my MSc...

I tried to upload as an attachment through the option in the MHB forum but didn't succeed as the txt file exceeds the site's capacity, so I uploaded to mediafire.

Thanks in advance for your time!

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...
