It was a misprint; it should be $e^{u(x',y)}$ in the denominator

Both signs. What are curves $x^2-y^2=C$?

Chapter 2 / Re: Transport Equation Derivation

Then your best shot would be
- either to ask during Prof Kennedy's Office hours
- or to formulate the problem and define everything (that is $u, v, S, \tilde{S}$) here by yourself without screenshots

It would be really helpfull if you explained where you took this from (if online TextBook--then section and equation number, if lecture then which lecture and which part).

Now it is correct $x=Ce^{t}$ and then $C=?$

OK. Remarks:
1. Do not use $*$ as a multiplication sign!
2. Do not use LaTeX for italic text (use markdown of the forum--button I)
3. Escape ln, cos, .... : \ln (x) to produce $\ln (x)$ and so on

Chapter 1 / Re: Classification of PDEs

Yes, all linear are also semilinear and all semilinear are also quasilinear. For full mark you need to provide the most precise classification. So, if equation is linear you say "linear", if it is semilinear but not linear you say "semilinear but not linear" and so on,... "quasilinear but not semilinear" and "non-linear and not quasilinear".

Chapter 1 / Re: Classification of PDEs
« on: January 14, 2022, 02:45:57 AM »In particular, the definition of a linear PDE, from the textbook, is: $au_{x}+bu_{y}+cu-f=0$, where $f= f(x,y)$. However, if we simply move the the $cu$ to the right-hand side, we get: $au_{x}+bu_{y}=f-cu$. Now, define $g(x,y,u) = f(x,y)-cu$, then $au_{x}+bu_{y}=g(x,y,u)$, and the right-hand side now depends on lower-order derivatives, so by definition, it's quasi-linear. Could someone help identify the issue with this argument?First, it will be not just quasilinear, but also semilinear. Second, it will also be linear since you can move $c(x,y)u$ to the left
Good job, you mastered some $\LaTeX$ basics.

Chapter 1 / Re: Second Order canonical Form
« on: January 13, 2022, 07:24:23 PM »
We replace differentiation by $x$, y$ by multiplication on $\xi,\eta$. So $\partial_x^2 \mapsto \xi^2$ (just square); as a result senior terms like $Au_{xx}+2Bu_{xy}+ Cu_{yy}$ are replaced by quadratic form $A\xi^2+2B\xi\eta+C\eta^2$.
In the Linear Algebra you studied quadratic forms, right? And you know that
In the Linear Algebra you studied quadratic forms, right? And you know that
- if $AC-B^2 >0$ the canonical form is $\pm (\xi^2+\eta^2)$ (as $\pm A>0$)
- if $AC-B^2 <0$ the canonical form is $ (\xi^2-\eta^2)$,
- if $AC-B^2 =0$, but at least one of coefficients is not $0$ the canonical form is $\pm \xi^2$.
