1) a) Find the normalized eigenfunctions of with boundary conditions

y + y = 0,

0 x 1

b) Let 1 ( x), 2 ( x),...... n ( x),.... are the eigenfunctions of the above problem. Find the eigenfunction expansion of the form

c

( x ) of the function

f ( x ) = 1 x 2 , 0 < x < 1.

2) Consider the Sturm-Liouville Boundary Value Problem(SLBVP)

[ p( x) y ] q( x) y + r ( x) y = 0,
subject to the conditions

a< x<b

a0 y (a) + a1 y (a) = 0, d 0 y (b) + d1 y (b) = 0 .

a) Let be an eigenvalue and (x) a corresponding eigenfuncion. Let ( x) is of the form

b) Show that u ( x) and v( x) are linearly dependent. [Hint: Use the concept of Wronskian and the boundary conditions]

c) Show that ( x) must be real, a part from an arbitrary multiplicative constant that may be complex. 3) Let 1 ( x), 2 ( x),...... n ( x),.... be the normalized eigenfunctions of the differential equation
