Hi Gunnar,
I cannot give you a solution but:
1: use u[x,t], i[x,t] and are you sure to use Dt instead of D ?
myEqn1 = -D[u[x,t],x] == r i[x,t] + l D[i[x,t],t]
myEqn2 = -D[i[x,t],x] == s u[x,t] + c D[u[x,t],t]
2: about: <<In[4] := Solve[{myEqn1,myEqn2}, {Dt[u,{x,2}]}]>>
You never had a sec derivation in your eq.
Dt[u,{x,2} = D[my Eqn1,x] ???
