Partial differential equation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equationWhen writing PDEs, it is common to denote partial derivatives using subscripts. For example: The Greek letter Δ denotes the Laplace operator; if u is a function of n variables, then A PDE is called linear if it is linear in the unknown and its derivatives. For example, for a function u of x and y, a second order linear PDE is of the form Nearest to linear PDEs are semilinear PDEs, where the highest order derivatives appear only as li…
PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
web.math.ucsb.edu › ~grigoryan › 124AOrder. The order of a partial di erential equation is the order of the highest derivative entering the equation. In examples above (1.2), (1.3) are of rst order; (1.4), (1.5), (1.6) and (1.8) are of second order; (1.7) is of third order. Linearity. Linearity means that all instances of the unknown and its derivatives enter the equation linearly.

math.iitm.ac.in › caimna › pdeLinear PDE:If the dependent variable and all its partial derivatives occure linearly in any PDE then such an equation is called linear PDE otherwise a non-linear PDE. In the above example equations 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3 & 6.1.4 are linear whereas 6.1.5 & 6.1.6 are non-linear. Quasi-linear PDE:A PDE is called as a quasi-linear if all the terms with highest order derivatives of dependent variables occur linearly, that is ...
Lewy's example - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewy's_exampleIn the mathematical study of partial differential equations, Lewy's example is a celebrated example, due to Hans Lewy, of a linear partial differential equation with no solutions. It shows that the analog of the Cauchy–Kovalevskaya theorem does not hold in the smooth category. The original example is not explicit, since it employs the Hahn–Banach theorem, but there since have been various explicit examples of the same nature found by Harold Jacobowitz.
