The problem

Let BB be the unit ball in R3\mathbb{R}^3. (a) Find the radial solution of −Δu=1-\Delta u = 1 in BB, u=0u = 0 on ∂B\partial B. (b) Explain why it is the only solution. (c) Use the maximum principle to show that any vv with −Δv=f-\Delta v = f, ∣f∣≤1|f|\le1, v=0v = 0 on ∂B\partial B satisfies ∣v∣≤u|v|\le u.

Find the radial solution.
