technical question in Partial differential equation

35 Views Asked by At

I starting to learn Partial differential equation and I got the following question:

u=u(x,y) is a solution for cauchy problem:

$u_t+u_x-u=0$,

$u|_{t=0}= \begin{cases} 0,&x\leq 0\\\\ x/\epsilon,&0\leq x\leq \epsilon\\\\ 1, &\epsilon \leq x \end{cases} $

calcultate: $\lim_{\epsilon\to 0}\int_{-\infty}^\infty u_xxdx$

what is the part of $u_t$ in the equation? it should not be a function of only x and y?

I don't really know how to treat it.
