@@ -334,6 +334,22 @@ To summarize, this process has broken one partial differential equation into two
ordinary differential equations of different variables. In order to do this, we
needed to introduce a separation constant, which remains to be determined.
### Boundary and eigenvalue problems ###
Continuing on with the Schr
\"
{o}dinger equation example from the previous
section, let us focus on
$$-
\f
rac{
\h
bar^2}{2m}
\p
hi''(x) =
\l
ambda
\p
hi(x),$$
$$
\p
hi(0)=
\p
hi(L)=0.$$
This has the form of an eigenvalue equation, in which $
\l
ambda$ is the
eigenvalue, $-
\f
rac{
\h
bar^2}{2m}
\f
rac{d^2}{dx^2}[
\c
dot]$ is the linear
operator and $
\p
hi(x)$ is the eigenfunction.
Notice that when stating the ordinary differential equation, it is specified
along with it's boundary conditions. Note that in contrast to an initial value
problem, a boundary value problem does not always have a solution.
