Polar laplace equation
$begingroup$
I am really struggling to solve this, the initial condition $u(a,theta)=0$ keeps throwing me off.

Let $u(r,theta)=f(r)g(theta)$. Then the Laplace equation becomes
$$ f''(r)g(theta)+frac1r f'(r)g(theta)+frac1{r^2}f(r)g''(theta)=0$$
from which one has
$$ frac{f''(r)+frac1r f'(r)}{f(r)}=-frac{g''(theta)}{g(theta)}. $$
Let
$$ frac{f''(r)+frac1r f'(r)}{f(r)}=K tag{1} $$
and
$$-frac{g''(theta)}{g(theta)}=K. tag{2} $$
Now solving (1) and (2) gives
$$ f(r)=c_1cosh(sqrt Kr)+c_2 isinh(sqrt{K}r), g(theta)=d_1cos(sqrt Ktheta)+d_2sin(sqrt Ktheta). $$
So
$$ u(r,theta)=bigg[c_1cosh(sqrt Kr)+c_2 isinh(sqrt{K}r)bigg] bigg[d_1cos(sqrt Ktheta)+d_2sin(sqrt Ktheta)bigg]. $$
Let $u(r,0)=u(r,2pi)=0$ and then one has
$$ d_1=0, K=frac{n^2}{4},n=1,2,3cdots. $$
You can choose $K=frac14$ or $K=1$. Let $u(a,theta)=0,u(b,theta)=f(theta)$ and I think you can determine $C_1,C_2$ which is not very hard.

Let $u(r,theta)=f(r)g(theta)$. Then the Laplace equation becomes
$$ f''(r)g(theta)+frac1r f'(r)g(theta)+frac1{r^2}f(r)g''(theta)=0$$
from which one has
$$ frac{f''(r)+frac1r f'(r)}{f(r)}=-frac{g''(theta)}{g(theta)}. $$
Let
$$ frac{f''(r)+frac1r f'(r)}{f(r)}=K tag{1} $$
and
$$-frac{g''(theta)}{g(theta)}=K. tag{2} $$
Now solving (1) and (2) gives
$$ f(r)=c_1cosh(sqrt Kr)+c_2 isinh(sqrt{K}r), g(theta)=d_1cos(sqrt Ktheta)+d_2sin(sqrt Ktheta). $$
So
$$ u(r,theta)=bigg[c_1cosh(sqrt Kr)+c_2 isinh(sqrt{K}r)bigg] bigg[d_1cos(sqrt Ktheta)+d_2sin(sqrt Ktheta)bigg]. $$
Let $u(r,0)=u(r,2pi)=0$ and then one has
$$ d_1=0, K=frac{n^2}{4},n=1,2,3cdots. $$
You can choose $K=frac14$ or $K=1$. Let $u(a,theta)=0,u(b,theta)=f(theta)$ and I think you can determine $C_1,C_2$ which is not very hard.
