Solve xu x uy + yu2y = 1, u( x, − x2 ) = 1
If we set F = xp q + y q2 − 1 then
xs = Fp = xq, (1a)
ys = Fq = xp + 2yq, (1b)
us = pFp + qFq = 2( xpq + yq2 ) = 2, (1c)
ps = − Fx − pFu = − pq, (1d)
qs = − Fy − qFu = −q2 . (1e)
x = r, y = −r 2 , u = 1, on s = r.
In order to complete the system, we will need BC’s for p and q. From the BC u( x, − x2 ) =
1, differentiating wrt x gives
p b (r )
ps = − ⇒ p= ,
s s
and the BC here gives b(r ) = 2 so
2r
p= . (5)
s
Next we solve (1c) subject to u(r, r ) = 1. We obtain
From (1a)
x
xs = xq = ⇒ x = d(r )s.
s
Since x = r when s = r gives d(r ) = 1 and thus
x = r. (7)
y 2r
2
= − + e (r ),
s s
and with the BC y = −r2 when s = r gives e(r ) = 1 and so
y = s2 − 2rs. (8)
Eliminating r and s from (6), (7) and (8) gives the solution of our PDE as
y
u = x+ + 1. (9)
