Abstract

The aim of this paper is twofold. The first aim is to describe the entire solutions of the partial differential equation (PDE) $u_{z_1}^2+2Bu_{z_1}u_{z_2}+u_{z_2}^2=e^g$, where B is a constant and g is a polynomial or an entire function in $\mathbb {C}^2$. The second aim is to consider the entire solutions of another PDE, which is a generalization of the well-known PDE of tubular surfaces.
