In summary, the conversation is about calculating C2-solutions z(x,y) to a differential equation with the constraint of making the substitution u=xy and v=x. The solution involves finding expressions for the differential operators in terms of u, v and using them to simplify the original PDE.

Solution
I've begun slightly but this doesn't take me far..

Start by working out what the differential operators [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial x}[/itex] and [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial y}[/itex] are in terms of [itex]u[/itex], [itex]v[/itex] and the differential operators [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial u}[/itex] and [itex]\frac{\partial}{\partial v}[/itex]. From these you can find expressions for the second-order operators.

Now substitute these expressions into the original PDE, and tidy up the result. You should find that most of the terms cancel.
 

FAQ: C2-solutions to a diff.equation.

1. What is a C2-solution to a differential equation?

A C2-solution to a differential equation is a solution that is continuously differentiable at least twice. This means that the solution has a well-defined first and second derivative at every point in its domain.

2. How is a C2-solution different from other types of solutions?

C2-solutions are different from other types of solutions because they have the extra requirement of being continuously differentiable at least twice. This ensures that the solution is smoother and more well-behaved compared to other types of solutions.

3. Why is a C2-solution important in the study of differential equations?

C2-solutions are important in the study of differential equations because they provide a more accurate and complete description of the behavior of the system. They also allow for better understanding and analysis of the differential equation and its solutions.

4. How are C2-solutions used in real-world applications?

C2-solutions are used in real-world applications to model and predict the behavior of various physical and natural systems. They can be used in fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and biology to solve problems and make predictions based on given initial conditions.

5. Are C2-solutions always unique?

No, C2-solutions are not always unique. It is possible for a differential equation to have multiple C2-solutions that satisfy the given initial conditions. In some cases, a C2-solution may not exist at all for certain initial conditions.
