Appendix from Phil's electrostatics work on a bowl using toroidal coordinates, marked as obsolete and already installed in the main text. It solves the pair of boundary equations (2.4.10) for A(τ) and B(τ) by equating left sides, applying hyperbolic sum identities, and eliminating B via B = -A th[(π+u0)τ]. The result is A = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] ch[(π+u0)τ]/ch²(πτ) with B the corresponding sh expression.

Thus, equations (2.4.6) become
[ A(τ)ch(u0τ) + B(τ)sh(u0τ) ] = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] / ch(πτ)
[ A(τ)ch(u0'τ) + B(τ)sh(u0'τ) ] = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] / ch(πτ) (2.4.10)
This is a standard 2x2 Cramer's Rule problem, but in order to get the solution into the form shown below, a certain amount of work is required, which we relegate to ******. The result from *** is then.
A(τ) = V0 ch[(π–u0)τ] ch[(π+u0)τ] / ch2(πτ)
B(τ) = – V0 ch[(π–u0)τ] sh[(π+u0)τ] / ch2(πτ) . (2.4.11)
************************************************
H.1 Solving for A(τ) and B(τ) in (2.4.10)
The task is to solve the following equations for A and B,
[ A(τ)ch(u0τ) + B(τ)sh(u0τ) ] = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] / ch(πτ) u'0 ≡ u0 + 2π
[ A(τ)ch(u0'τ) + B(τ)sh(u0'τ) ] = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] / ch(πτ) (2.4.10) (H.1.1)
Since both equations have the same right side, the left sides are also equal.
[ A(τ)ch([u0 + 2π]τ) + B(τ)sh([u0 + 2π]τ) ] = [ A(τ)ch(u0τ) + B(τ)sh(u0τ) ]
or
A(τ) [ ch[(u0+2π)τ] – ch(u0τ) ] = - B(τ) [ sh[(u0+2π)τ] – sh(u0τ) ] . (H.1.2)
Use the identities
ch(a+x) - ch(x) = 2 sh(a/2+x) sh(a/2)
sh(a+x) - sh(x) = 2 ch(a/2+x) sh(a/2) (H.1.3)
with x = u0τ, a = 2πτ, a/2+x= (π+u0)τ to get
ch[(u0+2π)τ] – ch(u0τ) = 2 sh[(π+u0)τ]sh(πτ)
sh[(u0+2π)τ] – sh(u0τ) = 2 ch[(π+u0)τ]sh(πτ) . (H.1.4)
Then (H.1.2) becomes,
A(τ) [ sh[(π+u0)τ]sh(πτ) ] = - B(τ) [ ch[(π+u0)τ]sh(πτ) ] .
so that
B(τ) = – A(τ) th[(π+u0)τ] (H.1.5)
providing a simple relationship between B and A.
Insert this expression for B into the first equation of (H.1.1) to get
[ A(τ)ch(u0τ) – A(τ) th[(π+u0)τ]sh(u0τ) ] = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] / ch(πτ)
or
ch(πτ) A(τ) {ch(u0τ) – th[(π+u0)τ] sh(u0τ) } = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)]
or
ch(πτ) A(τ) {ch[(π+u0)τ]ch(u0τ) –sh[(π+u0)τ] sh(u0τ) } = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] ch[(π+u0)τ] . (H.1.6)
Now use identity
chx chy - shx shy = ch(x-y) (H.1.7)
with x = [(π+u0)τ] and y = (u0τ) to get
ch[(π+u0)τ]ch(u0τ) –sh[(π+u0)τ] sh(u0τ) = ch(πτ) . (H.1.8)
Then (H.1.6) may be written
ch2(πτ) A(τ) = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] ch[(π+u0)τ] (H.1.9)
giving
A(τ) = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] ch[(π+u0)τ]/ ch2(πτ) . (H.1.10)
Then from (H.1.5) that B(τ) = – A(τ) th[(π+u0)τ] ,
B(τ) = – V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] sh[(π+u0)τ]/ ch2(πτ) (H.1.11)
so the solution is then
A(τ) = V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] ch[(π+u0)τ] / ch2(πτ)
B(τ) = – V0 ch[τ(u0-π)] sh[(π+u0)τ] / ch2(πτ) . (H.1.12)
