#### Problem 1

1. Find the solutions that depend only on $r$ of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u:=u_{xx}+u_{yy}+u_{zz}=k^2u, \end{equation*} where $k$ is a positive constant. (Hint: Substitute $u=v/r$)

2. Find the solutions that depend only on $r$ of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u:=u_{xx}+u_{yy}+u_{zz}=-k^2u, \end{equation*} where $k$ is a positive constant. (Hint: Substitute $u=v/r$)

#### Problem 2

1. Try to find the solutions that depend only on $r$ of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u:=u_{xx}+u_{yy}=k^2u, \end{equation*} where $k$ is a positive constant. What ODE should satisfy $u(r)$?
