Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Construct a second-order linear PDE that is hyperbolic, provide the coefficients, and calculate the discriminant. Explain why it is hyperbolic.

💡 Hint: Select coefficients carefully to ensure D remains positive.

Question 2

Given the equation \( A \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2}+B\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} + C \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2} = 0 \), determine conditions on A, B, and C so it becomes an elliptic PDE.

💡 Hint: Manipulate A, B, and C values until D < 0 is achieved.
