On a Linear Partial Differential Equation of Hyperbolic Type
E. T. Copson
Riemann's method of solution of a linear second order partial differential equation of hyperbolic type was introduced in his memoir on sound waves. It has been used by Darboux in discussing the equation
where α, β, γ are functions of x and y.
