1st order PDE through Method of Characteristics
Hello all!
I appreciate it if you can share any thoughts that you may have regarding how to solve the following PDE:
}{\partial t}+(1-z)\frac{\partial U(z,t)}{\partial z}=(\frac{1}{z}-1)\left(U(z,t)-U(0,t)\right))
Initial condition: =z^{K})
arises due to a boundary condition, but it is unknown and should be derived by solving the PDE itself (details are irrelevant).
A typical strategy would be using Method of Characteristics to tackle this. But
can't be dealt with.
Specifically, I am stuck when integrating both sides of the following subsidiary equation due to
:
}{U(z,t)-U(0,t)}=(\frac{1}{z}-1)dt)
I greatly appreciate it if you could share any thoughts you might have regarding how I can proceed to solve this through this method or any other method.
Thanks!
