Partial Differential Equation using theory of manifolds

103 Views Asked by At

I am trying to solve this problem but i am stack , does anyone have any idea how to continue ?

The problem : Find differential function $f:\Bbb R^2 \rightarrow \Bbb R$ in area around $p=(1,2)$ such that $X(f)=0$ and $f(x,2x)=x $ for $x$ close to $1$ where $X=x_1\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1}+x_2\frac{\partial}{\partial x_2}$ the vector field in $\Bbb R^2$ ($id_{\Bbb R^2}=(x_1,x_2))$

What i have done so far : i changed chart in order to simplify X , ${\psi}^{-1}(t_1,t_2)={{\Phi}_{t_1}}^{X}((1,2+t_2))$ where ${{\Phi}_{t}}^{X}(x,y)=(xe^t,ye^t)$ the flow of $X$. Then $X=\frac{\partial}{\partial \psi_1}$ and now am trying to solve the $X(f)=0$ but i havent found anything :(

Any ideas on how can i approach this ?
