Problem

Write down an explicit formula for a function uu solving the initial-value problem {ut+b⋅Du+cu=0in Rn×(0,∞)u=gon Rn×{t=0}.\begin{cases} u_t + b \cdot Du + cu = 0 & \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n \times (0,\infty) \\ u = g & \text{on } \mathbb{R}^n \times \{t=0\}. \end{cases} Here c∈Rc \in \mathbb{R} and b∈Rnb \in \mathbb{R}^n are constants.
