In summary, a PDE is a mathematical equation used to model physical phenomena in various fields. The equation involves multiple variables and their partial derivatives. dG/dt represents the partial derivative of the function G with respect to time. The variables n, s, and u can have different meanings depending on the context. The boundary conditions for a PDE depend on the specific problem being modeled. Various methods can be used to solve PDEs, such as separation of variables, method of characteristics, and numerical methods. Consult a textbook or seek assistance from a mathematician or scientist for a specific solution method.

Hi, could anyone tell me what kind of technique I should use to solve the following PDE?

dG/dt=(n*s-u)(s-1)dG/ds

Many thanks and happy new year to everyone:)

n and u are constants?

You can solve
[tex]\frac{ds}{(ns-u)(s-1)}= dt[/tex]
for the "characteristic" g(u,s)= constant.

For F(t) any differentiable function of single variable, G(u, s)= F(g(u,s)) is a solution to the differential equation.

1. What is a PDE?

A PDE, or partial differential equation, is a mathematical equation that involves multiple variables and their partial derivatives. It is commonly used to model physical phenomena in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.

2. What does dG/dt represent in this equation?

dG/dt represents the partial derivative of the function G with respect to time. This means that the equation is describing how G changes over time.

3. What do n, s, and u represent in this equation?

n, s, and u are all variables in the equation and their meanings may vary depending on the context in which the equation is being used. In general, n could represent a constant or a function, s could represent a spatial variable, and u could represent a function or a constant.

4. What are the boundary conditions for this PDE?

The boundary conditions for a PDE are the conditions that must be specified in order to solve the equation. In this case, the boundary conditions would depend on the specific problem being modeled by the PDE.

5. How can this PDE be solved?

There are various methods for solving PDEs, depending on the specific equation and problem being modeled. Some common techniques include separation of variables, method of characteristics, and numerical methods. Consult a textbook or seek assistance from a mathematician or scientist for a specific solution method.
