First order partial different equation

ut+c(x,t)ux=0

find a curve that the u is constant along it.

du=utdt+uxdx

t=t(r),x=x(r)

dt=dtdrdr,dx=dxdrdr


dudr=utdtdr+uxdxdr


we hope du=0,then along the curve, the u is constant.
dudr=0=ut+c(x,t)ux
we get dtdr=1
,and dxdr=c(x,t)
.
they determine the characteristic curve.
u(t(r1),x(r1)=u(t(r2),x(r2))
