First Order Partial Differential Equations
1 First Order Partial Differential Equations The profound study of nature is the most fertile source of mathematical discover-ies. - Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) begin our study of Partial Differential equationswithfirstorder Partial Differential doing so, we need to define a (see the appendix on Differential Equations ) that ann-th orderordinary Differential equation is an equation for an unknown functiony(x)n-th Order ordinary Differential equationthat expresses a relationship between the unknown function and its firstnderivatives. One could write this generally asF(y(n)(x),y(n 1)(x), .. ,y (x),y(x),x) =0.( )Herey(n)(x)represents thenth derivative ofy(x). Furthermore, and initialvalue problem consists of the Differential equation plus the values of theInitial value 1 derivatives at a particular value of the independent variable, sayx0:y(n 1)(x0) =yn 1,y(n 2)(x0) =yn 2.
Linear first order partial differential differential equation is of the form equation. a(x,y)ux +b(x,y)uy +c(x,y)u = f(x,y).(1.5) Note that all of the coefficients are independent of u and its derivatives and each term in linear in u, ux, or uy. We can relax the conditions on the coefficients a bit. Namely, we could as-sume that the equation ...
