Question 1

Which of the following equations is a linear PDE?

  • \\left( \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial x} \\right)^2 + \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial y} = 0
  • \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial t} + k \\frac{\\partial^2 u}{\\partial x^2} = 0
  • 2u^2 + \\frac{\\partial u}{\\partial x} = 0

💡 Hint: Look for powers that are only one.
