Paper 2, Section I, C
Consider the differential operator
acting on real functions with .
(i) Recast the eigenvalue equation in Sturm-Liouville form , identifying and .
(ii) If boundary conditions are imposed, show that the eigenvalues form an infinite discrete set and find the corresponding eigenfunctions for . If on is expanded in terms of your eigenfunctions i.e. , give an expression for . The expression can be given in terms of integrals that you need not evaluate.
