Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Prove that the set of eigenfunctions {sin(nΟ€x/L)} for n=1,2,3,... on the interval [0,L] is complete for the space of square-integrable functions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the concept of convergence and how functions are approached in LΒ² space.

Question 2

If the eigenfunctions φ₁(x) and Ο†β‚‚(x) are orthogonal, and you know their eigenvalues are λ₁ and Ξ»β‚‚ respectively, under what circumstances would their coefficients not affect each other?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how orthogonality implies zero interaction during integration.
