2.8.3 Method of Descent
Three-dimensional results such as Eqs. (2.84) and (2.85) can be used to obtain the
corresponding results of the two- and one-dimensional cases by using the method
of descent.
Two-dimensional Wave Equation
Expressing spherical surface integrals by double integrals in the Oxy -plane is the
key for the reduction from three spatial dimensions to two dimensions. This can be
achieved by noting that all functions
ϕ (
x
,
y
)

ψ (

y

, f
(

and u
(

)
of two
spatial variables are even functions with respect to plane z
k (constant) because
of their independency of z . We illustrate this by developing, from Eq. (2.84), the
