(urgent) help with integrals needed

I was doing an exercise on quasilinear equations, and have come to the point here I have to solve the following:

dy=\frac{du}{x-u}, where u=u(x, y).

How do I integrate this?

Thank you!

Saying that u is a function of x and y means that x depends upon u. The integral should depend strongly on just what that dependence is. How did you get that?
 


I'll write everything from the beginning then, I probably got something wrong.

I have to solve the following quasilinear equation:

x u_x + y u_y= xy-yu

I'm trying to find the general soultion so I do the standard procedure from my textbook:

\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{du}{y(x-u)}


\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{dy}{y} gives me
ln x=ln y + ln \overline{c}, \phi (x, y)=c=\frac{x}{y}

And now I try to do the same with \frac{dy}{y}=\frac{du}{y(x-u)} to get \psi(x, y, u), but don't know how.

Please, help me.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
