If the surface of the ball r 2 = x 2 + y 2 + z 2

Question:

If the surface of the ball r2 = x2 + y2 + z2 ≤ R2 is kept at temperature zero and the initial temperature in the ball is f(r), show that the temperature u(r, t) in the ball is a solution of ut = c2(urr + 2ur/r) satisfying the conditions u(R, t) = 0, u(r, 0) = f(r). Show that setting v = ru gives vt = c2vrr, v(R, t) = 0, v(r, 0) = rf(r). Include the condition v(0, t) = 0 (which holds because u must be bounded at r = 0), and solve the resulting problem by separating variables.
