Let $a, b, r_1$ and $r_2$ be four real numbers such that $0 < r_1 < r_2$. Determine a function $f$ of class $\mathcal{C}^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{(0,0)\}$ such that $$\begin{cases} \Delta f = 0 \\ f(x,y) = a & \text{if } \|(x,y)\| = r_1 \\ f(x,y) = b & \text{if } \|(x,y)\| = r_2 \end{cases}$$
