Non constant solutions for Laplace Equation in polar coordinates depending on the angle

59 Views Asked by At

In Evan's book is an example for finding radial solutions in polar coordinates. Now I'm searching for non constant solutions that satisfy the equation and depend only on $\varphi$.

$$\Delta_u = {\partial^2 u \over\partial r^2}+{1\over r}{\partial u\over\partial r}+{\partial^2 u \over\partial\varphi^2} =0$$

My guess is: $$u=v(\varphi)=c\cdot\varphi$$ $$u_\varphi=c$$ $$u_{\varphi\varphi}=0$$

Is that correct?
