So far I understood that in one dimension Laplace equation gives out a simple equation $V(x)=mx+b$ which is because if you differentiate this equation two times you will get 0 which is Laplace identity.
After this it says(Griffiths Electrodynamics) thus we need two boundary conditions What does this mean ?
In my understanding, $V1$$V_1$ and $V2$$V_2$ are two solutionsolutions two the Laplace equation for potential.And And thus$\bigtriangledown^2 V=0$$\nabla^2 V=0$ is satisfied by thee.Then Then it takes potential at a third point which is the difference of $V1$$V_1$ and $V2$$V_2$ and thus taking Laplacian of $V3=V1-V2$$V_3=V_1-V_2$ gives us zero and thus $V3$$V_3$ also satisfies the Laplacian and after than whatever he has written I am sorry I don't understand ?
Whats the sole purpose of Uniqueness Theorem and Boundary conditions, where and how do we use it ?
I went through Rochester and Ph Texas online notes got nothing
Then it provides this proof
He says there may be islands inside what does that mean ?
