Pde()

The syntax for pde is

pde(u) [+-] op1(u)[*/]exp1 [+-] op2(u)[*/]exp2...=exp3

It defines a partial differential equation with non constant coefficients where op is one of the operator:

and where [*/] means either a * or a / and similarly for tex2html_wrap_inline1890. Note that the expressions are necessarily AFTER the operator while in practice they are between the 2 differentiations for laplace...dyy . Thus laplace(u)*(x+y) means tex2html_wrap_inline1892 .Similarly dxy(u)*f means tex2html_wrap_inline1894.
