PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
web.math.ucsb.edu › ~grigoryan › 124ARemember that we are looking for a function u(x;y), and the equation says that the partial derivative of uwith respect to xis 0, so udoes not depend on x. Hence u(x;y) = f(y), where f(y) is an arbitrary function of y. Alternatively, we could simply integrate both sides of the equation with respect to x. More on this in the following examples.
