Separation of Variables for PDEs
Response to the following PDE:
Laplacian(u(x,y,z)) = u(x,y,z) * (-2*E/h^2)*(1 + (GM/(2(x^2+y^2+z^2)^(1/2))))^4
Where, G,M,E, and h are all constants.
The problem that I'm having is that there is a nonconstant factor of (x^2+y^2+z^2)^(-1/2) appearing on the RHS of this equation, making it non-trivial to solve. I tried separation of variables, and couldn't seem to get it to work.
Could someone please take a look?
Provide step by step calculations.
