Homework Statement



Formally solve the following boundary value problem using Fourier Transforms.

Homework Equations



(\partial^{2}u/\partialx^{2})+(\partial^{2}u/\partialy^{2}) = 0

(-\infty<x<\infty,0<y<1)

u(x,0)= exp^{-2|x|}

(-\infty<x<\infty)

u(x,1)=0


(-\infty<x<\infty)

u(x,y)\rightarrow 0 uniformaly in y as |x| \rightarrow\infty

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
