§ 1. It is proposed to discuss in this paper partial differential equations involving two independent variables x and y, and a dependent variable z. The method of reduction which is explained can be applied to certain equations involving more than two independent variables, but such application is subject to too many restrictions to be of much general utility.

Given an equation of the form z = ϕ ( x 1 , x 2 , . . . x n+r , a 1 , a 2 ,... a r , a + r + 1 ), we obtain by differentiation with respect to each of the n + r variables n + r equations, together with the original equation n + r + 1 equations, from which, eliminating the r + 1 constants, we have a system of n nonlinear partial differential equations. Conversely, given a system of n non-linear partial differential equations with n + r independent variables, if there exists an equation

A mixed problem in the theory of partial differential equations is an auxiliary data problem wherein conditions are assigned on two distinct surfaces having an intersection of lower dimension. Such problems have usually been formulated in connection with hyperbolic differential equations, with initial and boundary conditions prescribed. In this paper a study is made of the conditions appropriate to a system of R linear partial differential equations of first order, in R dependent and N independent variables.

AbstractWe give an intrinsic construction of a coupled nonlinear system consisting of two first-order partial differential equations in two dependent and two independent variables which is determined by a hyperbolic structure on the complex special linear group regarded as a real Lie groupG. Despite the fact that the system is not Darboux semi-integrable at first order, the construction of a family of solutions depending.upon two arbitrary functions, each of one variable, is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations on the 1-jets. The ordinary differential equations in question are of Lie type and associated withG.

The general feature of most of the methods of integration of any partial differential equation is the construction of an appropriate subsidiary system and the establishment of the proper relations between integrals of this system and the solution of the original equation. Methods, which in this sense may be called complete, are possessed for partial differential equations of the first order in one dependent variable and any number of independent variables; for certain classes of equations of the first order in two independent variables and a number of dependent variables; and for equations of the second (and higher) orders in one dependent and two independent variables.
