PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
JUNE 2022
QUESTION 1 [25 marks]
1. (a) From the following equations, form partial differential equations by eliminating the
arbitrary contacts g,h and j.
1.
g?eY
z= gue’ +
+h
a
il.
z=g(a+y)+h(a—y)+ght+)
(b) By eliminating arbitrary functions from the followings, form the partial differential
equation
i.
z= («—y)f(x* +4’)
ii.
f(z? — y?, zyz) = 0.
QUESTION 2 [20 marks]
2. Solve the following first order PDE
(a) (y? + 2°) — vy +2z=0
(b) (z+ 2)% + (yt+z)% —x—y=0
((Ac)) 2((a?y +2z)y5?2)8+ =y(zay! 2+) 22= 2(t —y)
QUESTION 3 [25 marks]
3. (a) Classify, reduce to normal form and hence solve
3Uge + 10Ugy + 3uUyy = 0
(b) Classify, reduce to normal form and hence solve
Une + 2Ugy + Uyy = 0
(c) Classify and reduce to normal form
YF2 Ug+ 2 2 Uyy= 0
