When mixed derivatives are not allowed, what is the fix? TIA
p=D[X[u,v],u]; q=D[X[u,v],v]; r =D[X[u,v],u,u]; s=D[X[u,v],u,v];
t=D[X[u,v],v,v];
GC[u_,v_] = (r t - s^2)/(1+p^2 + q^2)^2
NDSolve[{GC[u,v]== 1, X[u, 0] == Cosh[u], Derivative[0,1][X][u, 0] ==
0,
X[-3, v] == X[3, v]},X[u,v], {u,0,3},{v,0,3}]
