Find good substitution for PDE.

$begingroup$


Consider system of : $begin{cases}
u_{tt} = vartriangle{u}
\
u|_{t = 0} = frac{1}{x^{2}+y^2+z^2}
\
u_t|_{t = 0} = 0
end{cases}$



I've thought about $v = x^{2} + y^2+z^2$, then $v_{x} = 2x, v_{y} = 2y, v_{z} = 2z$. Hence we have : $vartriangle{u} = 6u_{v} + 4v u_{v} = u_{tt}$. And addititional property is : $u|_{t=0} = frac{1}{v}$.



But how should I finish it?



Edit :



After spherical substitution and deducing that $U(x,y,z,t) = U(r,t)$



We have : $begin{cases}
u_{tt} = u_{rr} + frac{2}{r}u_{r}
\
u|_{t = 0} = frac{1}{r^2}
\
u_t|_{t = 0} = 0
end{cases}$



After substitution: $xi = t-r$ and $eta = t + r$ we have
$u_{xi eta} = frac{u_{eta} - u_{xi}}{eta - xi}$. The solution for this part is :
$U(xi,eta) = frac{f(eta)+ g(xi)}{eta - xi}$. Hence we have :



$U(t,r) = frac{f(t+r) +g(t-r)}{2r}$ with initial data : $U(0,r) = frac{1}{r^2}$ and $U_t(0,r) = 0$.



But now how can we find exact form of $f$ and $g$?

    Have a look at the Laplacian in spherical coordinates here. The solution is radial: depends only on $r$, not on $theta,phi$.

    @Federico I've thought about spherical coordinates. But Laplacian looks terrible. Why should solution depends only of $r$? Suppose function $f = t r theta phi + frac{t}{r^{2}}$ depends on all variables , but $f_t = frac{1}{r^2}$

    initial datum is radially simmetric. you need also to specify the initial value of $partial_t u$. i assume it is $0$

    @Federico there is only one initial property. So the task assumes to find all solutions.
