ux = 1, u(0, y) = sin(2 y)
ux uy = 1, u(0, 4 y) = 2 y
2 ux + 5 u = 0, u(0, 2y) = cos(y)
x ux + 2 u = 1, u(1, y) = ey
ux = 2 x + 1, u(0, 2y) = y 2

For Problems 6, 7 and 8:

1. find the general solution of the given PDE
2. verify the solution by substituting it into the PDE
Problem 6.
Problem 7.
Problem 8.

2 ux + 3 uy 2xy u = 0
xy ux + y 2 uy y u = y x
x2 ux 4 uy x u = 2 x2

For Problems 9 and 10:

1. sketch a couple of characteristic curves
2. find the general solution of the given PDE
3. find solution of the initial value problem (or prove that it does not exist)
Problem 9.
2 y ux x u y = 0
(a) u(x, x) = x2
(b) u(x, x) = 1 x2
(c) u(x, y) = 2 x on 2 y 2 + x2 = 1

Problem 10.
y 2 ux + x2 uy = 2 y 2
(a) u(x, 4 x) = x
(b) u(x, y) = 2 y
(c) u(y, y) = y 2

on y 3 = x3 2
