(x+u)u_x + (y+u)u_y = 0\,

The characteristics are \frac{dx}{dt}=x+z, \frac{dy}{dt}=y+z, \frac{dz}{dt}=0\,.

\ln(x+z)=t+c_1, \ln(y+z)=t+c_2, z(t)=c_3\,

x+z=c_4e^t, y+z=c_5e^t\,

y+z=c_6(x+z)\,

\frac{y+z}{x+z} = c_6\,

So we have two functions that are LI and constant on the surface. Set one equal to an arbitrary function \phi\, of the other:

z=u(x,y,z)=\phi\left(\frac{y+z}{x+z}\right)\,
