In contrast to the earlier examples, this PDE is nonlinear, owing to the square roots and the squares. A linear PDE ...

This course covers the classical partial differential equations of applied mathematics: diffusion, Laplace/Poisson, and wave equations. It also includes methods and tools for solving these PDEs, such as separation of variables, Fourier series and transforms, eigenvalue problems, and Green's functions.

An ordinary differential equation (ODE) has only derivatives of one variable — that is, it has no partial derivatives.

the second order linear PDEs. Recall that a partial differential equation is any differential equation that contains two or more independent variables. Therefore the derivative(s) in the equation are partial derivatives. We will examine the simplest case of equations with 2 independent variables. A few examples of second order linear PDEs in 2 variables are: α2 u xx = u

Linear Partial Differential Equation. If the dependent variable and all its partial derivatives occur linearly in any PDE then such an equation is called linear PDE otherwise a nonlinear PDE. In the above example (1) and (2) are said to be linear equations whereas example (3) and (4) are said to be non-linear equations. Quasi-Linear Partial Differential Equation

An equation is said to be of n-th order if the highest derivative which occurs is of order n. An equation is said to be linear if the unknown function and its deriva-tives are linear in F. For example, a(x,y)ux +b(x,y)uy +c(x,y)u = f(x,y), where the functions a, b, c and f are given, is a linear equation of first order.

variable x, the dependent variable uand derivatives of uis called an ordinary di erential equation. Some examples of ODEs are: u0(x) = u u00+ 2xu= ex u00+ x(u0)2 + sinu= lnx In general, and ODE can be written as F(x;u;u0;u00;:::) = 0. In contrast to ODEs, a partial di erential equation (PDE) contains partial derivatives of the depen-

Homogeneous PDE: If all the terms of a PDE contains the dependent variable or its partial derivatives then such a PDE is called non-homogeneous partial differential equation or homogeneous otherwise. In the above six examples eqn 6.1.6 is non-homogeneous where as the first five equations are homogeneous.

Linear 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 ...
