General Solution for Partial Differential Equation












3












$begingroup$


To be honest I'm a bit lost on this, and I would like to get a hint or something that can help me, thanks.
I need to find the general solution $U(x,y,z)$ of the next equation:



$$U_{xx}+U_{yy}+4U_{zz}-2U_{xy}+4U_{xz}-4U_{yz}=xyz$$



I know that most sure exists a change of variable that would help to solve the equation, but I don't know how to find it, our teacher of Multivariable Calculus asked to solve this.
Thanks!

          This PDE is linear so it's solution can be obtained as



          $$
          U = U_h + U_p
          $$



          We have



          $$
          left(partial_{xx}^2+partial_{yy}^2+4partial_{zz}^2-2partial_xpartial_y + 4partial_xpartial_z-4partial_ypartial_zright)U = left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)^2U = x y z
          $$



          so calling



          $$
          V = left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)U
          $$



          we have



          $$
          left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)V = x y z
          $$



          using the characteristic method, we have



          $$
          frac{dx}{1}=frac{dy}{-1} = frac{dz}{2}
          $$



          giving the characteristics



          $$
          x+y = eta\
          2y+z = xi\
          2x-z = mu
          $$



          Choosing instead



          $$
          x-y = eta\
          2y+z = xi\
          2x-z = mu
          $$



          because $xi + mu = 2(x+y)$ and introducing now this change of variables into the full PDE we will obtain



          $$
          V_{eta}(eta ,xi ,mu )=frac{1}{64} (2 eta -mu +xi ) (-2 eta +mu +xi ) (2 eta +mu +xi )
          $$



          now considering $V = V_h + V_p$ this PDE can be easily solved.



          $$
          V_h(eta ,xi ,mu) = C_1+f(xi,mu)
          $$



          In this case $V_p(eta,xi,mu)$ is a polynomial form.



          Finally after solving $V$ we will solve



          $$
          left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)U = V
          $$



          with the same process.



          NOTE



          Here



          $$
          V_p(eta ,xi ,mu) = frac{1}{192} eta left(-6 eta ^3+4 eta ^2 (mu -xi )+3 eta (mu +xi )^2-3 (mu -xi ) (mu +xi )^2right)
          $$



          then



          $$
          V(eta ,xi ,mu) = frac{1}{192} eta left(-6 eta ^3+4 eta ^2 (mu -xi )+3 eta (mu +xi )^2-3 (mu -xi ) (mu +xi )^2right) + f(xi,mu)
          $$

          V_{eta}(eta ,xi ,mu )=frac{1}{64} (2 eta -mu +xi ) (-2 eta +mu +xi ) (2 eta +mu +xi )
          $$



          now considering $V = V_h + V_p$ this PDE can be easily solved.



          $$
          V_h(eta ,xi ,mu) = C_1+f(xi,mu)
          $$



          In this case $V_p(eta,xi,mu)$ is a polynomial form.



          Finally after solving $V$ we will solve



          $$
          left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)U = V
          $$



          with the same process.



          NOTE



          Here



          $$
          V_p(eta ,xi ,mu) = frac{1}{192} eta left(-6 eta ^3+4 eta ^2 (mu -xi )+3 eta (mu +xi )^2-3 (mu -xi ) (mu +xi )^2right)
          $$



          then



          $$
          V(eta ,xi ,mu) = frac{1}{192} eta left(-6 eta ^3+4 eta ^2 (mu -xi )+3 eta (mu +xi )^2-3 (mu -xi ) (mu +xi )^2right) + f(xi,mu)
          $$

          This PDE is linear so it's solution can be obtained as



          $$
          U = U_h + U_p
          $$



          We have



          $$
          left(partial_{xx}^2+partial_{yy}^2+4partial_{zz}^2-2partial_xpartial_y + 4partial_xpartial_z-4partial_ypartial_zright)U = left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)^2U = x y z
          $$



          so calling



          $$
          V = left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)U
          $$



          we have



          $$
          left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)V = x y z
          $$



          using the characteristic method, we have



          $$
          frac{dx}{1}=frac{dy}{-1} = frac{dz}{2}
          $$



          giving the characteristics



          $$
          x+y = eta\
          2y+z = xi\
          2x-z = mu
          $$



          Choosing instead



          $$
          x-y = eta\
          2y+z = xi\
          2x-z = mu
          $$



          because $xi + mu = 2(x+y)$ and introducing now this change of variables into the full PDE we will obtain



          $$
          V_{eta}(eta ,xi ,mu )=frac{1}{64} (2 eta -mu +xi ) (-2 eta +mu +xi ) (2 eta +mu +xi )
          $$



          now considering $V = V_h + V_p$ this PDE can be easily solved.



          $$
          V_h(eta ,xi ,mu) = C_1+f(xi,mu)
          $$



          In this case $V_p(eta,xi,mu)$ is a polynomial form.



          Finally after solving $V$ we will solve



          $$
          left(partial_x-partial_y+2partial_zright)U = V
          $$



          with the same process.



          NOTE



          Here



          $$
          V_p(eta ,xi ,mu) = frac{1}{192} eta left(-6 eta ^3+4 eta ^2 (mu -xi )+3 eta (mu +xi )^2-3 (mu -xi ) (mu +xi )^2right)
          $$



          then



          $$
          V(eta ,xi ,mu) = frac{1}{192} eta left(-6 eta ^3+4 eta ^2 (mu -xi )+3 eta (mu +xi )^2-3 (mu -xi ) (mu +xi )^2right) + f(xi,mu)
          $$
