Structure of sign changes under the heat flow
Let $f$ be a smooth function on $R^2$, and define $N_f$ to be the set of points $p$ such that the nodal set of $f$ ($\{x\in R^2: f(x)=0\}$) divided every neighborhood of $p$ into four regions. Indeed, ...

Analytic solution to two component, first order, linear PDE system
I would like to obtain analytic solutions to the following PDE system:
\begin{equation}
\rho_t + D(\lambda)\,\rho_\lambda = A(\lambda) \rho, \tag{1}
\end{equation}
with $\rho = (\rho_0,\rho_1)^T$, $D$ ...

Method of characteristic for a system of first order PDEs
I am working with this system of first order PDEs:
\begin{equation}
\left\{
\begin{aligned}
%Suscettibili
&\frac{\partial{S}(a,t)}{\partial{t}} + \frac{\partial{S}(a,t)}{\partial{a}}= -\lambda(a,...
