Series solutions to the cauchy problem for partial differential equations

Abstract: The method of separation of variables can be used to solve many separable linear partial differential equations (LPDEs). Moreover, variable separation solutions usually are some trigonometric series. In the paper, base on some ideas of this method, we introduce a new technique to solve the Cauchy problem for some LPDEs with the initial conditions consisting of some trigonometric series, power series and exponential series. Then many LPDEs which are not separable are solved, such as some second order elliptic equations, Stokes equations and so on. In addition, the solutions of them can be expressed by trigonometric series, power series or exponential series. Moreover, by using power amd exponential series and an iterative method, we can solve many LPDEs and nonlinear PDEs for the first time.
