SUMMARY

The discussion centers on verifying the values of ##x_0## and ##y_0## in the context of the Mean Value of Harmonic Functions, specifically using the integral formula: \(\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \cos(1+\cos t)\cosh(2+\sin t)\;dt\). The participants confirm that the calculations yield \(x_0 = -1\) and \(y_0 = -2\) based on the relationships derived from polar coordinates, where \(x = r\cos t\) and \(y = r\sin t\) with \(r = 1\). The consensus is that the derived values are correct, supported by the analysis of the minimum distances in the coordinate transformations.

I want to verify the the value of ##x_0## and ##y_0## of the given integral according to the formula of Mean Value of Harmonic function
\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \cos(1+\cos t)\cosh(2+\sin t)\;dtMean Value of Harmonic function on a disk ##\Omega## given:
u(x_0,y_0)=\frac {1}{2\pi}\int_{\Omega}u[(x-x_0),(y-y_0)] d\Omega
\Rightarrow\;u[(x-x_0),(y-y_0)]=\cos(1+\cos t)\cosh(2+\sin t)
\Rightarrow\;(x-x_0)=1+\cos t,\;(y-y_0)=2+\sin t
Using Polar coordinates, ##x=r\cos t,\;y=r\sin t## where ##r=1## in this case.
(x-x_0)=1+\cos t\;\Rightarrow\; x_0=-1\;\hbox{ and }\;(y-y_0)=2+\sin t\;\Rightarrow\;y_0=-2

Am I correct?

Thanks

I don't know this subject but the smallest |x - x_0| is when t = ##π \over 2##, then x = x_0, so x_0 = -1, x = - cos(t). And for t = 3/4 π, |y - y_0| = 1 is the smallest, so I think, when y = -1, y - y_0 = 1, so y_0 = -2, y = sin(t). So I agree with your calculations. x - x_0 is a sum of two terms, one independent of t and one dependent, and the same goes for y - y_0, so I think this must be right.

Thanks, it's a strange question.
