The maximum area of the uniqueness of the Cauchy problem for PDE

48 Views Asked by At

Help me please. How to find the maximum area of the uniqueness of the Cauchy problem $$u_{xx}-u_{xy}-2u_{yy}+3u_x-6u_y=0,$$ $$u|_{x=0, y>0}=e^{-y},\\ u_x|_{x=0, y>0}=e^{-y}.$$


I found the solution by changing variables from the characteristic equation $dy^2+dxdy-2dx^2=0$ and canonicalization. $$u_{\psi\phi}+u_{\phi}=0,\; \phi=y-x,\; \psi=y+2x.$$ $$u(x,y)=e^{-y-2x}(3x+1).$$ But I can't figure out how to find this area from the characteristics.


It's true that this is the area $\{(x,y):y-x>0,y+2x>0\}$? That is an area where, through any point are two characteristic lines intersect $\{(0,y):y>0\}$.
