Multiple choice questions may have more than one correct answers. You have to submit all the
problems except 3 (second and third part).
1. Choose the correct answer(s):
a) ux + uy = u is a linear PDE.
b) |∇u| = 1 is a non linear PDE.
c) |∇u| = 1 is a semilinear PDE.
d) uux + uy = sin(x) is a quasilinear PDE.
2. Classify the following PDE and also determine their order.
a) 4u = sin2 (x) (Poisson Equation)
b) utt − uxx = 0 (Wave Equation)
c) ut = 4u (Heat Equation)
d) div |∇u|p−2 ∇u = 0 (p-Laplace equation) for p > 1.
e) det(D2 u) = 1 (Monge Ampere equation)
f) ut + uux = 0 (Burgers Equation)
g) xuxxy + uyyy = 1.
3. Solve the following problem:
in R2 ,
ux − 2uy = u
u(x, 0) = 1.
ux − 2uy = u ,
u(0, y) = y.
and
ux − 2uy = u
u(x, x) = x.
4. Consider the following semilinear equation:
1
ux + uy = u 2 ,
(1)
u(x, 0) = 0.
Show that solution of this problem is not unique. Try to explain a possible reason for this. Does
it contradict the Existence uniqueness theorem provided in lectures?
1
5. Solve the following semilinear equation:
uux + uy = u2
,
(2)
u(x, 0) = 1.
6. Consider the following problem:
ux + uy = 0 ,
(3)
u(x, x) = 1.
Then the above problem has
a) infinitely many solutions
b) no solution
c) atmost finitely many solutions
d) unique solution.
7. Does the projected characteristics in Problem 4 and 5 intersects?
8. Does the non-characteristics condition is satisfied for the problem 4 and for the Toy problem 2 in
the lecture video.
[After doing the second part of the above problem, try to connect the information on the number
of solution of the problem and the main theroem]
