Hopf-cole transformation to some systems of partial differential equations

Abstract

In this paper we study a system of nonlinear partial differential equations which we write as a Burgers equation for matrix and use the Hopf-Cole transformation to linearize it. Using this method we solve initial value problem and initial boundary value problems for some systems of parabolic partial differential equations. Also we study an initial value problem for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations of first order which does not have solution in the standard distribution sense and construct an explicit solution in the algebra of generalized functions of Colombeau.
