MA121 Problem Set 10

The document outlines Problem Set 10 for a Differential Equations course at Rajiv Gandhi Institute Of Petroleum Technology. It includes various problems related to the solution of first-order partial differential equations (PDEs) using the Method of Characteristics, initial value problems, integral surfaces, and classification of PDEs in the xy-plane. Additionally, it requires students to classify and reduce given PDEs into canonical form.

Week 3 / April 2025 Problem Set 10 GR,SD

Solution of first order PDEs by Method of Characteristics, Canonical form of second


order linear PDEs
1. Use Lagrange’s method to solve the following PDEs for z = z( x, y).
i) x2 p + y2 q = ( x + y) z ii) y2 + z2 − x2 p − 2xyq + 2zx = 0


iii) z2 − pz + qz + ( x + y)2 = 0 iv) pz ( x + y) + qz ( x − y) = x2 + y2


2. Solve the following initial value problems for u = u( x, y) and determine the values of x and y
for which the solution exists.
i) u x − 2uy = u; u(0, y) = y ii) y−1 u x + uy = u2 ; u( x, 1) = x2
iii) xu x − 2yuy = u2 ; u( x, x ) = x3 iv) ( x − y)u x + uy = x; u( x, 0) = f ( x )

v) (u + 2y)u x + uuy = 0; u( x, 1) = x

3. Find the integral surface for the linear PDE


u x + 2uy = 0
subject to the Cauchy condition that u = sin x on y = 3x + 1.
4. Find the solution of the Cauchy problem governed by the semilinear PDE
xu x + yuy = xe−u
subject to the Cauchy data u = 0 on y = x2 .
5. Find the equation of the integral surface of the differential equation
2y(z − 3) p + (2x − z)q = y(2x − 3)
which passes through the circle z = 0, x2 + y2 = 2x.

elliptic) in the xy-plane.
i) au xx + bu xy + auyy = 0
