Question

Show that the steady-state solutions to the diffusion equation in linear geometry, in planar geometry with radial symmetry, and in spatial geometry with spherical symmetry are, respectively,
u = ax+b,
u = a ln r + b                                                                                                                                                                      u = a /p + b
Here, a and b are arbitrary constants.
