Chaotic quantum billiards on a torus.

In summary, the conversation discusses wanting to perform a similar statistical analysis to a specific paper, but with different boundary conditions on a two-dimensional torus. The solution involves a summation expression and a problem arises when a Dirchlet boundary condition is imposed, making it difficult to solve. The speaker asks for any help or suggestions on how to approach this problem.

Hi, I want to do a similar statistics analysis as in the next paper:
http://www.phy.bris.ac.uk/people/Berry_mv/the_papers/Berry340.pdf

But the boundary conditions are on a two dimensioanl torus, so a solution will be of the form
[tex]u(R)=\sum_{j=1}^{\infty} \sum_{m,n=0}^{\infty} (A_{mn} sin(mXcos(\theta_j)+nYsin(\theta_j)+\phi_j) + B_{mn} cos(mXcos(\theta_j)+nYsin(\theta_j)+\phi_j)[/tex] (have I got it right?!) the problem arises when I impose on it a Dirchlet boundary condition (for example), cause I need f to satisfy: [tex]u(x,0)=u(x,2\pi)=0[/tex] and [tex] u(0,y)=u(2\pi,y)=0[/tex]

Which doesn't look like something I can solve easily, can I?

Any help?

Thanks.

Surely there are familiar Fourier series tricks you can use with that summation expression...
