Homework Statement
Use Charpits equations to solve 4u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = (\frac{\partial u}{\partial x})^2
where u=1 on the line x+2y=2
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
from the charpit equations i get
\frac{dx}{dt} = 4u
\frac{dy}{dt} = -1
\frac{du}{dt} = 4pu-q
\frac{dp}{dt} = -4p^2
\frac{dq}{dt} = -4pq
next i have to parameterise the inital conditions
the line x+2y=2
x=s
y=\frac{2-s}{2}
whats the next step?
