Hi,


The PDE in question is: $A P\_{yy}(y,z) + B P\_{zz}(y,z) + ( [ C y -D z] P(y,z) )\_y + ( [ D y + C z ] P(y,z) )\_z=0,$


where subscript $y,z$ indicates derivatives and $A,B,C,D$ are real. The PDE is the stationary bit of a Fokker-Planck equation derived from a generally complex Langevin equation, i.e. $x = y+iz$.


I was wondering if anyone knew of a standard table/textbook that details the solution or how to solve PDEs like the above? With no complex part ($z=0$) the solution is a Gaussian (with suitable restrictions on the coefficients). 


It is possible to let $A$ or $B$ be zero and the ensuing equation is still meaningful.


Thanks



I have this linear PDE...
If you are looking for solutions in the whole plane, take the Fourier transform. You get a first order PDE which you can then analyze by the method of characteristics.
