$u_{xx} + u_{xy} + u_{yy} = 0$ in canonical form












2














How do i put $u_{xx} + u_{xy} + u_{yy} = 0$ in canonical form?



$a=1, b=1/2, c=1 $ implies that it is elliptic as $b^2 - ac <0$



$dy/dx = lambda$ where $alambda^2-2blambda+c=0$ gives $lambda = pmsqrt{frac{-3}{4}} + 1/2$



As these roots are complex I am not sure how to proceed?



Can i take $ξ=y-x$ and $η=x$ to give me $u_{ξξ} + u_{ηη} - u_{ηξ} =0$ which is in canonical form?

          $lambda_1=frac{1+isqrt{3}}{2}, lambda_2=overline{lambda_1}=frac{1-isqrt{3}}{2}\
          implies varepsilon=y-lambda_1x, eta=y-overline{lambda_1}x$



          The standard procedure to deal with complex roots involves finding the canonical form by making the substitution $alpha=frac{varepsilon+eta}{2}=y-frac{lambda_1+overlinelambda_1}{2}x=y-Re(lambda_1)x, beta=frac{eta-varepsilon}{2i}=frac{lambda_1-barlambda_1}{2i}x=Im(lambda_1)x$.



          The canonical form so obtained will not contain complex constants.
