| Apr 19, 2011 at 12:53 | comment | added | Stephan F. Kroneck | First off, don't ask me what made me think $u(x,r)=r:=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ was a solution; next, I did try looking for a radial solution $\hat u(r)$, i.e. tried solving $\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r\frac{\partial\hat u}{\partial r})=r$, but must have miscalculated ... What bothers me is the assumption made in most books of the existence of a radially symmetric solution, simply because of the corresponding symmetry of the (domain of the) equation and the boundary condition ... | |
