I'm trying to solve a simple system of second order PDEs with Mathematica 11.1. Here is the system:
DSolve[{
D[f[x, y, z], x, y] == 0,
D[f[x, y, z], x, z] == 0,
D[f[x, y, z], y, z] == 0
}, f[x, y, z], {x, y, z}]
Mathematica returns it unevaluated... I expect the solution to be
f[x,y,z] -> C[1][x] + C[2][y] + C[3][z]
Any idea what I can try?
Thanks!
Update:
We can differentiate a third time:
DSolve[{D[f[x, y, z], x, y, z] == 0}, f[x, y, z], {x, y, z}]
and then Mathematica gives the following answer:
f[x, y, z] -> C[1][y, z] + C[2][x, z] + C[3][x, y]
Maybe this can be somehow combined with the answer by bbgodfrey to give the correct answer for the system above?
DSolve[{D[f[x, y, z], x, y] == 0, D[f[x, y, z], x, z] == 0}, f[x, y, z], {x, y, z}]
leaks an internal error and returns a manifestly wrong answer,{{f[x, y, z] -> C[1][y, z] + Inactive[Integrate][C[1][K[2]], {K[2], 1, x}]}}
. $\endgroup$ – bbgodfrey Sep 19 '20 at 13:48
