Solve the following Lagrange’s Partial Differential Equations : (yxp –xzq = xy
Solve the following Lagrange’s Partial Differential Equations :
(yxp –xzq = xyFx - yFp + xFq = 0
Comparing this to the equation we started with, we can see that if we let F(x,y,z,p) = xy - yxp + xzq, then the equation is in standard form.
To solve for y and z, we can use the method of characteristics. The characteristics are the curves in the x-y plane along which the solution to the PDE is constant. These curves can be found by solving the following system of equations:
dx/x = dy/y = dz/z = dp/q
Solving this system of equations, we find that the characteristics are given by:
x^2 - y^2 = c
where c is an arbitrary constant.
To find the general solution, we can set up an equation for each characteristic curve and solve for y in terms of x. For example, for the characteristic curve x^2 - y^2 = c1, we can solve for y to get:
y = sqrt(x^2 - c1)
Substituting this expression for y back into the equation F(x,y,z,p) = 0, we can solve for z in terms of x. For example, if we choose c1 = 1, then we can solve for z to get:
z = sqrt(x^2 - 1)
This gives us the general solution to the PDE in parametric form:
y = sqrt(x^2 - c1) z = sqrt(x^2 - 1)
where c1 is an arbitrary constant.
This is the general solution to the PDE. To find a particular solution, we need to specify the values of y and z at some point (x0,y0,z0). We can then use the general solution to determine the values of the arbitrary constants c1, c2, etc. that will give us the desired solution.
