Partial Differential Equation Toolbox

Help please, I need to solve this differential equation in Matlab (where "a" is a constant parameter, it can be taken by any), I wanted to use the Partial Differential Equation Toolbox, but I ran into a problem, the elliptic equation in this Toolbox is represented in a vector form, namely -div(c*grad(u))+a*u=f.
Please help me convert my equation to this form and tell me how it can be done or at least name the sources of information from which I can learn this knowledge.
I really need to solve this equation in Matlab,so please tell me how it can be done.

What is the domain where you want to solve the equation and what are the boundary and initial conditions ?
I can take any, at my discretion

Take
c = [- x, x - y ; - ( x - y ), - y]
Then
-div(c*grad(u)) = x * d^2u/dx^2 + y * d^2u/dy^2

Thank you very much.
Can you put you code here or can you send me on e-mail or private message? I really need example of pde solution.
Thanks in advance.
