Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider the PDE u_xx + 2u_xy + u_yy = sin(xy). How would you approach finding its CF and PI?
💡 Hint: Think about the sine function form you might encounter in trigonometric relationships.
Solve a non-homogeneous PDE like u_xx - u = e^x. First, get the CF, then derive the PI based on the forcing function.
💡 Hint: Try a form similar to the e^x when guessing your PI.
