Q.9. Find the rank of the matrix .

Answer

The given three-dimensional Laplace equation is rigorously classified entirely as an Elliptic Partial Differential Equation since it describes a purely spatial steady-state condition completely lacking any real characteristics.

The classical 3D Laplace equation is mathematically written strictly as:

In the rigorous classification of second-order linear PDEs, we strictly examine the exact coefficients of the second derivative terms. Here, the coefficients for , , and are absolutely all equal to , completely positive, with strictly no mixed partial derivatives or explicit time derivatives present. This mathematical structure unconditionally classifies the equation exactly as Elliptic, universally representing equilibrium or steady-state potential fields (like electrostatics or steady heat conduction).
