You can do this by substitution.
Let
and
This is probably the most compact form. Other forms are possible, for example by writing .

(a)

where is the integral over the upper circular surface,
, at
,
is the integral over the cylindrical surface,
, and
is the integral over the lower hemi-spherical surface,
.
Each integral will be computed by appropriately parameterising the surface.
For
Change to plane polar coordinates
The angular integral is zero (integrating an odd function over a symmetric range). Hence
.
As above, the integral is zero, hence
.
For , parameterise
with spherical polar coordinates
So
because the integral over equals zero.
Finally we arrive at
(a)
(i)
As an intermediate result
(ii)
and is given explicitly in (i).
(iii)
Use
Now
and the cofactor matrix is
Thus
This can easily be verified by multiplying by .
(iv)
We know , so
so finally
(a)
(i)
In Gaussian elimination, reduce the matrix to upper triangular form, then back-substitute.
Eliminate:
Back-substitute:
The solution is
(a)
Consider , then
, so
The polar angle is , thus the cylindrical polar coordinates are
(b)
Let
Then
(a)
The ‘trick’ is to re-write
which is the required Fourier series.
(b)
The derivative of is
which again is the required Fourier series.
(a)
Yes. A real symmetric matrix can be (orthogonally diagonalised).
(b)
No. This is a rotation matrix. The eigenvalues are non-real except for special values of .
(a)
(i)
If the formula isn’t known, it can be worked out using a basic formula you must know
Let and
Re-use the basic formula
Also since
then
Putting (2) and (3) in (1)
(ii)
If has occurred, then so has
Or, a bit more algebraically
Consider the numerator on the RHS
as is a proper subset of
. Thus
leading to the same answer as before.
(a)
The period so
(b)
Assuming such an expansion exists for
Substitute in (*)
This yields the constraints on the coefficients, by comparing constants, coefficients of and
Here, is the Kronecker delta.
