 Title: Problem Set 1: Problem 4 Post by: เกียรติศักดิ์ on November 11, 2006, 04:24:17 PM Here is the questioning part.Let and be the fundamental solutions of the Liouville equation, i.e. and are two linearly-independent solutions in terms of which all other solutions may be expressed (for a give value ). Then there are constants and which allow any solution to be expressed as a linear combination of this fundamental set:These constants are determined by requiring to satisfy the boundary conditions:Use this to show that the solution is unique, i.e., that there is one and only one solution corresponding to an eigenvalue of the Liouville equation.I've been thinking for hours how to show... in vain. It'd be very nice if you give some hints. :) I guess there has something to do with the Wronskian, but that doesn't carry me quite far... :'( Title: Re: Problem Set 1: Problem 4 Post by: ปิยพงษ์ - Head Admin on November 11, 2006, 05:20:53 PM Quote from: เกียรติศักดิ์ on November 11, 2006, 04:24:17 PM...These constants are determined by requiring to satisfy the boundary conditions:...If you had read the question carefully you should have noticed that the boundary conditions are: :coolsmiley: Title: Re: Problem Set 1: Problem 4 Post by: เกียรติศักดิ์ on November 11, 2006, 05:27:26 PM Oh, sorry for that :oops:.But I really have noticed them, and used them in the calculation of the Wronskian. :buck2: Title: Re: Problem Set 1: Problem 4 Post by: ปิยพงษ์ - Head Admin on November 11, 2006, 05:50:12 PM Quote from: เกียรติศักดิ์ on November 11, 2006, 05:27:26 PM...But I really have noticed them, and used them in the calculation of the Wronskian. :buck2:If you write the two equations as a matrix acting on a column vector with A and B as its elements.
