(1) Classify the equations in the document in terms of order and type (linear, semilinear, quasilinear, fully nonlinear). (2) The document asks to reduce and solve several partial differential equations by transforming them into canonical forms. (3) One question shows that transforming the two dimensional Laplace equation into plane polar coordinates results in a canonical form involving partial derivatives with respect to r and θ.

1. Classify the following equations in terms of order, linear/semilinear/quasilinear/fully nonlinear:


(i) u2x + u2y = 1 (ii) ux + uy + u2 = 0.
(iii) ux + xuy = 0 (iv) uxxx + uux + uy = 0.
(v) uy + uux = 0 (vi) uy + a(u)ux = 0.
2. Classify and reduce the equation

to a canonical form and solve it.


3. Reduce the following equation to a canonical form:
(1 + x2 )uxx + (1 + y 2 )uyy + xux + yuy = 0.
4. Reduce the following equation to a canonical form and hence solve it:
yuxx + (x + y)uxy + xuyy = 0.
5. Show that if the two dimensional Laplace equation u = 0 is transformed by introducing
plane polar coordinates r, defined by the relation x = r cos , y = r sin , it takes the form
