What Does the Antiderivative of This Multivariable Function Mean?

372 Views Asked by At

In this video, the instructor uses Undetermined Coefficients (or at least what would be called Undetermined Coefficients in the ODE world) to find a particular solution to the PDE $U_t + cU_x = f(x + ct)$, where $c$ is a parameter present in the original Wave Equation.

The guess used is $U = aF(x + ct)$, where $a$ is the constant to be determined, and $F$ is said to be the antiderivative of $f$. However, I don't recall from MV Calc any single notion of an antiderivative of a multivariable function, only antiderivatives taken with respect to one of the function's inputs. The closest thing I can think of would be a potential function, where one begins with a vector field and pieces together a single function whose gradient is that vector field, but I don't think that matches what's going on here.

Later in the problem, he seems to take $\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial F}{\partial t}$ separately, in both cases yielding $f$, but it seems to me that baring certain exceptional cases, it is not possible to find a function whose partial with respect to each of its variables yield a single, given function. What is going on here?

If $f$ is a function of a single variable and $s$ is a function of two variables $x$ and $t$ the composition $f \circ s$ is also a function of $x$ and $t$. This is often written in a convenient but slightly imprecise form as $$f(x,t) = f(s(x,t)).$$ In your case $f$ is a function of a single variable and its antiderivative in the usual sense is $F$. The function $s$ is defined as $s(x,t) = x + ct$.

Using the same notation you may write $$F(x,t) = F(s(x,t)) = F(x + ct).$$ The chain rule states $$\frac{\partial F}{\partial x} (x,t) = F'(s(x,t))\frac{\partial s}{\partial x}(x,t) = f(s(x,t))$$ and similarly $$\frac{\partial F}{\partial t} (x,t) = F'(s(x,t))\frac{\partial s}{\partial t}(x,t) = c f(s(x,t))$$ giving you $$c \frac{\partial F}{\partial x}(x,t) = \frac{\partial F}{\partial t}(x,t).$$
