Title: S2.2 Q1
Post by: Yifei Hu on February 02, 2022, 04:35:19 PM
The problem asks for general solution of the equation $U_t+yU_x-xU_y=0; U(0,x,y)=f(x,y)$
I proceed as usual:
$$\frac{dt}{1}=\frac{dx}{y}=\frac{-dy}{x}=\frac{du}{0}$$
Integrate and this gives: $x^2+y^2=C$, $t-\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{c-x^2}}dx=D$
Hence, I conclude that $U=\phi(C,D)=\phi(x^2+y^2,t-\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{c-x^2}}dx)$. However, this involves an integral that I can not calculated by hand, can anyone give me a hint on how to do this integral?
Also, I see that in the solution we can also solve this system with a nice trigonometry form $U=f(xcos(t)-ysin(t),xsin(t)+ycos(t))$but the solution does not specify how to reach that, can anyone shed lights on how the solution is reached?
Thanks in advance.

Write \cos , \sin , \log .... to produce proper (upright) expressions with proper spacing
