Now hint:
a) consider $u_s (x,t)= s^l u(s x, s^k t)$ and prove that if $u$ satisfies original problem then $u_s$ satisfies it for all $s>0$ iff $k=1$, $l=0$.
b) So, $u_s(x,t)= u(sx, st)$ satisfies it and we are interested in self-similar solution $u(x,t)=u(sx,st)$ for all $s>0$. Plugging $s=t^{-1}$ we arrive to $u(x,t)=v (xt^{-1})$ (with $v(y)=u(y, 1)$.
c) Plugging $u(x,t)=v (xt^{-1})$ into original equation we have an ODE. Which?
d) Find continuous solution of this ODE such that $v(y)=-1$ as $y<-1$ and $v(y)=1$ as $y>1$ (Think why).
e) Plug into $u$
No, this does not fly. To construct a solution you need to fill by characteristics the whole half-plane $t>0$. So far you covered only $x<-t$ where $u=-1$ and $x>t$ where $u=1$ leaving sector $-t<x<t$ empty.Sorry professor I quoted my post accidentally, could you help me delete the previous post? -t<x<t sector has two values which is definitely not right but I don't know what do you mean apply the self-similar solution, can you give me more hints please?
You need to apply the method of self-similar solutions to find continuous $u(x,t)$ there.
