Extract

Consider a characteristic initial value problem of partial differential equations

where the functions E (x) and F (y) are real valued, uniformly Lipschitz continuous on 0 ≤ xa, 0 ≤ yb, respectively. Suppose f (x, y, u, p, q) is a real-valued and continuous function defined on 0 ≤ ≤ b. By a solution of (1), we mean a real-valued continuous function u (x, y), having partial derivatives ux (x, y), uy (x, y) and ux, y (x, y) in the domain 0 ≤ xa, 0 ≤ yb almost everywhere.
