1. Delineate the region in which the given PDE is hyperbolic, parabolic, and/or ellip-
tic, and then transform the equation in the respective region to a canonical form:
3. Find the characteristics, the characteristic coordinates, and reduce the following
equations into canonical form:
1
√
(b) uxx + uyy = 0; Hint: Let c = i = −1 in (a);
(c) uxx + uxy = 0;
(d) uxx + 10uxy + 9uyy = y;
1
u(x, t) = w(x, t)e 2 bx
2
for the case when c = − b4 , show that the given equation can be reduced to the
nonhomogeneous heat equation:
where
bx
g(x) = f e− 2

7. Consider the equation:
(a) Find a coordinate system (s, t) in which the equation has the form:
1
9wtt = (s − t)t2
3
(b) Find the general solution u(x, y);
(c) Find a solution of the equation which satisfies the following initial conditions:
3
u(0, y) = f (y), ux (0, y) = g(y)
10. I hope by now you had a good working experience on how to transform a given
governing equation from one coordinate system to another. Budinski et al. (2015)
tried to transform Poisson equation from cartesian coordinate system to a curvilin-
ear coordinate system. You need to read the attached paper in some detail and see
if you can reproduce second-order derivative stipulated in equation (3). You may
want to dig further into transformation theory by looking at Simmonds (1994).

Life responds to deserve and not need. It doesn’t say, “If you need, you
will reap.” It says, “If you plant you will reap.” The guy says, “I really need
to reap.” Then you really need to plant.
