Limits & Continuity4. Extra Credit. (10 Points.) Consider the problem of solving for functions u(x, y), defined on x² + y² ≤ 1,
such that
(i) Au = 0, and
(ii) u = 0 at all points in the boundary x² + y² = 1.
Show that the only solution to this problem is the zero function: u(x, y) = 0.
Hint: Consider the vector field F = uvu.
Can you make the same conclusion if we replace replace condition (ii) with "Vun = 0 at all points on
the boundary" (so the function becomes "flat" as you approach the boundary). If not, what is a conclusion
about u you can make?
Remark: The two "boundary conditions" in this problem are two very common ones you'll find in differen-
tial equations.
