- Homework Statement
- You are given an entropy function in terms of a probability density function, and you are asked to maximize said entropy function in terms of the density function, under the constraint of constant energy. The details aren't very relevant, what I don't understand is a leap in the mathematics of the solution.
- Relevant Equations
- .
Alright, so I did some progress and then I got stuck. After some time I went to check the solution. Up to some point, it's all well and good:
I understand everything that is happening up to the point where he takes the partial derivative of S wrt ρ(Γ). I don't understand how he gets the result he does. I imagine it's just a calculus thing that I am failing really bad at right now. Damn book always demanding you to know how to do things >:(
