1.1.2 (a)

(d)
so L is nonlinear.
L(u + v) =
(u + v) x + (u + v)y + 1
= u x + v x + uy + vy + 1
Lu + Lv = (u x + uy + 1) + (v x + vy + 1) = u x + v x + uy + vy + 2,
so L is nonlinear.
1.1.3 The way to do this is by moving any terms that dont involve u to the right hand
side; this will be the function g. Then, we define Lu to be the terms on the left hand
side.
(a) ut u xx = 1 is linear homogeneous, with a linear operator L =
g( x, t) = 1.
(c) The operator L defined by Lu = ut
is a nonlinear equation.

1.2.1 Since the directional derivative in the direction of v = 2i + 3j (on the t-x plane) is 0 so
u must be constant on lines parallel to v. The equations for such lines is 3t 2x = C
where C can be any constant. Therefore, the solution is u(t, x ) = f (3t 2x ) where

we can plug in x = y/2 to see that f (y) = sin( 2 ). After figuring out f , we can
finally find out what u is;
2x 3t
u(t, x ) = f (3t 2x ) = sin

1.2.2 Let v = uy , then the equation is 3v + v x = 0. This is an ODE that can be solved
by using the method of integrating factor; the solution is v = Ce 3x . However, the
function v depends on y as well, so we have ti replace the constant by a function of
y. Hence,Rv( x, y) = f (y)e 3x for some function f . By integrating v in y, we have that
u = e 3x fR(y) dy + h( x ) for some function h. We can simply the solution further
by defining f (y) dy = g(y) for some function g, so the solution is
u( x, y) = e

1.2.6 u( x, y) is constant along curves whose tangent vector at ( x, y) is ( 1 x2 , 1). This
is because such curve f ( x ) has slope f 0 ( x ) = p 1 2 at the point ( x, y) and we have

We know that p 1 2 dx = arcsin x + C. Therefore, the solution is
1 x
u( x, y) = g(y
arcsin x )
where g is any function of one variable. With the condition u(0, y) = g(y) = y, we
have that g is the constant function, so
u( x, y) = g(y
arcsin x ) = y
arcsin x.
1.2.9 The trick here is simplifying the nonhomogeneous linear equation into a homoge
neous one by defining v = u x. Since u x + uy = 1 = x
x, we have that
(u

Therefore, the heat equation is ut = k (urr + 2r ur ).
