Partial Differential equation (First order)


Partial differential equation are those equation which contain partial differential coefficient, independent variables and dependent variables. The independent variable will be denoted by x and y and the dependent variable by z . The partial differential equation coefficient are denoted as follows.

 

Orders

Order of a partial differential equation is the same as that of the order of the highest differential coefficient in it.

Method of forming partial differential equation

A partial differential equation is formed by two method

(i)                 By eliminating arbitrary constant

(ii)               By eliminating arbitrary function.

Method of elimination of arbitrary constant

Example. Form a partial differential equation from

Ans. Given
 

Equation contains two arbitrary constant a and c.

Differentiating equation 1 partially with respect to x we get

Differentiating equation 1 partially with respect to y we get

2y+2(z -c)   =0

y+(z -c) q=0     (3)

Eliminate c from (2) and (3) we get from (2) ( z -c)=

Putting the value of  (z -c) in (3) we get
