I know how to solve this homogeneous problem using separation of variables .
Here, $u$ is from $mathbb{R}^2 rightarrow mathbb{R}$
$$u_{xx}+u_{yy} = 0$$



But, How to solve this non homogeneous equation using separation of variables
$$ u_ {xx} + u_{yy} = 1 $$
There are no boundary conditions given in question.



I am new in solving PDE, so please explain the answer as well.

  • Can you make a change of variables that gets rid of the $1$? Maybe something like $v(x,t) = u(x,t) + x^{2}/2$, though you could equally take $v(x,t) = u(x,t) + y^{2}/2$. It usually depends on what the boundary conditions are.

  • Why you have used $(x, t)$ ? $u$ is a function of $(x, y) $

    It was a typo. Just replace $t$ with $y$ in what I wrote in the previous comment.

  • There was literally a problem just like this one posted a couple of days ago. Duplicate?

  • @DaveNine, Can you please share link of that. So, that I can know if there is one more method to solve it.
