The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Superchallenge problem

A smooth function on all of R3\mathbb R^3 has the radial form u=g(r)u = g(r), where r=x2+y2+z2r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}, and satisfies uxx+uyy+uzz=uu_{xx} + u_{yy} + u_{zz} = u everywhere (including the origin), with g(0)=1g(0) = 1. Find g(ln⁡2)g(\ln 2).
