Solve the PDE by method of separating variables (∂^2 u/∂x^2 ) + 2t(∂^2 u/(∂x∂t)) − 4u = 0
$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{PDE}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{method}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{separating}\:\mathrm{variables} \\ $$$$\frac{\partial^{\mathrm{2}} {u}}{\partial{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:+\:\mathrm{2}{t}\frac{\partial^{\mathrm{2}} {u}}{\partial{x}\partial{t}}\:−\:\mathrm{4}{u}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$

My approach Let the solution be u(x,t) = F(x)G(t) Substitute u(x,t) to original eq. and divide by F(x)G(t) yields (1/F) (d^2 F/dx^2 ) + 2 ((1/F) (dF/dx))((t/T) (dT/dt)) − 4 = 0 Let P(x) = (1/F) (d^2 F/dx^2 ), M(x) = (2/F) (dF/dx) , N(t) = (t/T) (dT/dt) ⇒ P(x) + M(x)N(t) − 4 = 0 Differentiate both sides with respect to x, then t ⇒ M ′(x) N ′(t) = 0 which means either M(x) or N(t) is a constant • Case 1 : N(t) = n P(x) + n M(x) − 4 = 0 ⇒ (d^2 F/dx^2 ) + 2n (dF/dx) − 4F = 0 ⇒ F(x) = C_1 e^((−n + 2(√(4 + n^2 )))x) + C_2 e^((−n − 2(√(4 + n^2 )))x) ⇒ N(t) = (t/T) (dT/dt) = n ⇒ T(t) = C_3 t^n • Case 2 : M(x) = m P(x) + m N(t) − 4 = 0
