Singular solution : .

.
It is a solution of the P.D.E can't be obtained from the
general solution by a particular selection of the arbitrary
functions.
:

: trivial solution :
All coefficients are equal to zero .
: isoclines :

.
.
A line or curve formed by plotting constant values of the
first differential, i.e. points at which the slope is uniform.
This is not necessarily a solution of the differential
equation.
: separable :
.
A differential equation in which the dependent and
independent variables can be algebraically separated on
opposite sides of the equation.
: explicit :
.

An explicit solution of a differential equation is one in

which y may be written in terms of x only. Otherwise it is
an implicit solution

If the differential equation containing the partial
derivative one can be solved by direct integration:
