In summary, PDE Plot Mathematica(Multivalue) is a function in the Mathematica software that allows users to plot multivalued solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs). It can handle a wide range of PDEs and offers customization options for the plots. To use it, the PDE and its boundary conditions must be defined using Mathematica syntax. However, there may be limitations in handling certain types of PDEs and the accuracy of the plotted solutions may be affected by numerical methods.

I am trying to plot:
u(x,y)=sin(x-t u(x,y))
An implicit solution to a PDE.
I have no clue how to do this; I've plotted an equation like this before.

Nothing?
I don't suppose parameterizing would help, I would still have the u(x,y) term i think.

I can suggest the following steps to plot the given PDE in Mathematica:

1. First, define the function u(x,y) using the "Function" command in Mathematica. The syntax would be u[x_,y_]:=Sin[x-t u[x,y]].

2. Next, use the "ContourPlot" command in Mathematica to plot the function u(x,y). The syntax would be ContourPlot[u[x,y],{x,xmin,xmax},{y,ymin,ymax}] where xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax are the desired ranges for the x and y variables.

3. Since the given PDE is an implicit solution, you can also use the "ImplicitPlot" command in Mathematica. The syntax would be ImplicitPlot[u[x,y]==Sin[x-t u[x,y]],{x,xmin,xmax},{y,ymin,ymax}].

4. You can also use the "Plot3D" command in Mathematica to plot the function u(x,y) as a 3D surface. The syntax would be Plot3D[u[x,y],{x,xmin,xmax},{y,ymin,ymax}].

5. Additionally, you can use the "Manipulate" command in Mathematica to create an interactive plot where you can vary the parameters of the PDE and see how the solution changes.

I hope these suggestions help you plot the given PDE in Mathematica. Good luck!
