# Error with DSolve

I am trying to solve the following partial differential equation for the function $f(x,y,z)$

$\frac{(\alpha -\beta y)}{1-y^2}\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} + \frac{(\alpha y-\beta ) }{\sqrt{1-y^2}}\frac{\partial f}{\partial z} \right)-\sqrt{1-y^2} z \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=0$

When solving with Mathematica with the following command

DSolve[-Sqrt[1 - y^2] z Derivative[0, 1, 0][f][x, y,
z] + ((α -
y β) (((y α - β) Derivative[0, 0, 1][f][x, y,
z])/Sqrt[1 - y^2] + Derivative[1, 0, 0][f][x, y, z]))/(
1 - y^2) == 0, f, {x, y, z}]


DSolve gives me the following error output, involving this object DsolvePDEDumpconst$1049: {{f -> Function[{x, y, z}, C[1][(-z^2 + y^2 z^2 - α^2 + 2 y α β - β^2)/(2 (-1 + y^2)), x + (1/(2 Sqrt[-(-1 + y^2)^2]))(-1 + y^2) (Log[1 - y] - Log[1 + y] + Log[α^2 + β^2 - 2 (1 + y) DSolveDSolvePDEDumpconst$1049[

A similar problem has been discussed here DSolve giving strange error messages solving a PDE . An answer claims that the bug has been resolved in Mathematica 10.1.0, but I am getting this error with version 10.2.0.

• Same error occurs for "10.3.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (October 9, 2015)" – bbgodfrey Dec 4 '15 at 2:14
• In Mathematica 10.4.0, it returns unevaluated – user58955 Mar 26 '16 at 4:21
