Quick partial differential equation question?

349 Views Asked by At

$$ \frac{\partial^2{u(x,y)}}{\partial y^2} -x^2 {u(x,y)} = 0$$

If i have something like this^. is it okay to use the standard technique for solving second order homogeneous differential equations?

i.e. $ r^2 = x^2 $

Which leads to $${u}(x,y) = A e^{x y} + B e^{-x y}$$

Just wondering because u is in terms of x but the differentials are with respect to y.

What if

$$u(x,y)=e^{xy}?$$

The first partial wrt $y$ is

$$xe^{xy}$$

and the second one is then

$$x^2e^{xy}=x^2u(x,y).$$
