The characteristic equation for partial differential equations of the first order

First Order Partial Differential Equations

If T⃗ denotes a vector tangent to C at t,x,u then the direction numbers of T⃗ must be a,b, f. But then (1.2) implies that T⃗ n⃗, which is to say, T⃗ lies in the tangent plane to the surface S. But if T⃗ lies in the tangent plane, then C must lie in S. Evidently, solution curves of (1.2) lie in the solution surface S associated with (1.2). Such curves are called characteristic curves for (1.2). W...

A method for solving first order fuzzy differential equation

Fractal first order partial differential equations

The present paper is concerned with semilinear partial differential equations involving a particular pseudo-differential operator. It investigates both fractal conservation laws and non-local HamiltonJacobi equations. The idea is to combine an integral representation of the operator and Duhamel’s formula to prove, on the one side, the key a priori estimates for the scalar conservation law and t...

A new approach for solving the first-order linear matrix differential equations

Abstract. The main contribution of the current paper is to propose a new effective numerical method for solving the first-order linear matrix differential equations. Properties of the Legendre basis operational matrix of integration together with a collocation method are applied to reduce the problem to a coupled linear matrix equations. Afterwards, an iterative algorithm is examined for solvin...
