CLASSIFICATION AND FORMATION OF PARTIAL
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
1.2, Partial Differential Equations (P.D.E.)
‘An equation containing one or more partial derivative of an unknown
function of two or more independent variables is known as a partial
differential equations. we list the following examples x differential
equations:
: SS
1.2. Order of A Partial Differential Equation
‘The order of a partial differential equation is defined as order of the highest
partial derivative occurring in the partial differential equation,
In above examples of partial differential equations (1),(3), and (4) are of
the first order, (5) and (6) is of the second order and (2)is of the third
order.
1.3. Degree of A Partial Differential Equation
The degree ofa partial differential equation is the degree of the highest oder
derivative which Gccurs in it after the equation has been rationalized, ic.
made free from radicals and factions so far as derivative are concerned,
In above examples of partial differential equations (1),(2),(3), and (4) ,
(6) ate of frst degree while (5) is of second degree.
Notations:
When we consider the case of two independent variable we usually assume
them to bex, y and assume z to be the dependent variable. We adopt the
following notations throughout the study of partial differential equationsAde “-Classification of First Order Partial Differential Equations
1.4.1, Linebr Equation
‘A first order partial differential equation is said to be a linear equation if itis
linear in p.g and 2 , ic, ifitis ofthe form
P(x) p+O(x»)q=R(x,y)2+5(x,9)
Examples: yp—xq=xz2+x and p+q=z+3y
‘Semi-Linear Equation
A first order partial differential equation is said to be a semi-linear equation
if itis linear inp and’g and the coefficient of P and,Q the functions of
x and y only ie, ifit is of the form \

Non-Linear Equation ~
Partial differential equations of the form f(x,y,2.p.9)=0 which do not
‘come under the above three types are said to be non-linear equation.
Example: pq=2, p2-+g?21 and ‘2p?+y%q?'=2? are all, non-linear
partial differential equations:
Formation of Partial Differential Equation
By Elimination of Arbitrary Constants’
Consider an equation F(;y,2.08)=0 Al)
Where a and & denote arbitrary constants. Let 2 be regarded as function of
two independent vatiables 1x and y’. Differentiating (1) w. r. t xand y
partially, we get
OF | oF
Fp ang FE Q
a Oe a +5 (2)
Eliminating two constants @ and 6 from three equations of (1) and (2), we
shall obtain an equation, of the form f(x,y,2,p,q)=0 which is, partial
differential equation of the first onder.
Ina similar manner it can be shown that if there are more arbitrary constants
than the number of ‘independent “variables, «the above -procedure’of
elimination will give tise to partial differential equations of higher order
than the firs. eae“Example: Form the partial differential equation by eliminating arbitrary the
* constants a&b from z=ax+by-+ab,
Solution: Given z=ax+by+ab
(1) partially with respect to x and y we obtain
Substituting p and q for a and b in equation(t), we get the required
partial differential equation as z= px+qy+ pq SN
‘Three Situations May Arise
Situation I: When the number of arbitrary const Sea thin the number
of independent variables, then the elimination of ants usually
fives rise to more than one partial difrenial eating one.

Since (3) does not’ contain arbitrary constant, so (3) is also partial

Situation I: When the number of arbitrary constants is equal to the number
of independent variables, then the elimination of arbitrary constants shall
sive rise to a unique partial differential equation of order one.

Fliminating a from (2) and 3), we have 5 1, which is the unique
partial differential equation of order one.
Situation III: When the number of arbitrary constants is greater than the
number of independent variables, then the elimination of arbitrary constants
leads to a partial differential equation of order usually greater than one.thy texy
