INTRODUCTION

Partial differential equations arise in connection with various physical and geometrical problems. When the functions involved depend on two or more independent variables, usually on time t and one or several space variables. It is fair to say that only the simplest physical systems can be modeled by ordinary differential equations whereas most problems in fluid mechanics, elasticity, heat transfer, electromagnetic theory, quantum mechanics and other areas of physics lead to partial differential equations.

A partial differential equation is one which involves partial derivatives. The order of a partial differential equation is the order of the highest derivative occuring in it.

Throughout this chapter, we use the following notations : z will be taken as a dependent variable which depends on two independent variables x, y so that z = f(x, y). We write


Thus, p + qx = x+y is a partial differential equation of order 1 and r+t = x2+y is a partial differential equation of order 2.
