$\frac{d^2}{dx^2}$ is Hermitian - you can thus directly assume that
the solutions form an orthogonal basis).
5. [:smirk:] Take the partial differential equation
5. [:smirk:] Consider the following partial differential equations, and try to make a separation ansatz $h(x,y)=f(x)g(y)$. What do you observe in each case? (Only attempt the separation, do not solve the problem fully)
$$\frac{\partial h(x,y)}{\partial x} + x \frac{\partial h(x,y)}{\partial y} = 0. $$
(a) $$\frac{\partial h(x,y)}{\partial x} + x \frac{\partial h(x,y)}{\partial y} = 0. $$

(b) $$\frac{\partial h(x,y)}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial h(x,y)}{\partial y} + xy\,h(x,y) = 0$$
6. [:sweat:] We consider the Hilbert space of functions $f(x)$ defined
for $x \ \epsilon \ [0,L]$ with $f(0)=f(L)=0$.
