PDE

1.  Consider the first order PDE,

∂u/∂t = ct(∂u/∂x)      -∞ < x < ∞     c does not equal 0

a)  Find the fundamental solution

b) Use the fundamental solution and convolution to find a formula for the solution to:

∂u/∂t = ct(∂u/∂x)      -∞ < x < ∞     c does not equal 0  u(x,0) = f(x)

c)  Use the method of characteristics to find the solution to part b.(Make sure your answers agree)
