Boundary and initial conditions
Time dependent PDEs may have initial conditions, and
boundary conditions.
Initial condition: q(x, 0) = q0 (x)

Green’s theorem (preliminaries)
Let C be a positively oriented, peicewise smooth, simple closed
curve in a plane, and let D be the region bounded by C. If L and
M are functions of x and y defined on an open region containing
D with continuous partial derivatives, then the following equality
exists.

General Approach of UTM
I
Assume you have a solution to the PDE.
I
Evaluate along the boundary of the domain using Green’s
theorem to obtain a solution.

Extend k into the complex plane to get rid of extra boundary
conditions.
