### Problem 4: Solve the Dirichlet Problem

Given the Dirichlet problem:

\[ 
\begin{cases} 
    \Delta u = 0 & \text{on } \{x^2 + y^2 < 1\} \\
    u(x, y) = 2xy + 2y^2 & \text{on } \{x^2 + y^2 = 1\}
\end{cases}
\]

where \( \Delta \) represents the Laplace operator.

#### Explanation:

1. The Laplace equation \(\Delta u = 0\) is a second-order partial differential equation, which in two dimensions is given by:

\[ 
\Delta u = \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial y^2}
\] 

2. The problem is defined on a unit disk, which is represented by the region \(\{x^2 + y^2 < 1\}\). This means that the function \(u(x, y)\) needs to be harmonic inside this disk.

3. The boundary condition is specified on the unit circle \(\{x^2 + y^2 = 1\}\), where the function is given by \(u(x, y) = 2xy + 2y^2\). This means that the solution \(u(x, y)\) must take this form on the boundary of the disk.
