    Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Differential Equation help

    Hi, so i am looking at the quantization of the harmonic oscillator and i have the following equation... ψ''+ (2ε-y^{2})ψ=0 I am letting y\rightarrow \infty to get... ψ''- y^{2}ψ=0 It says the solution to this equation in the same limit is... ψ= Ay^{m}e^{\pm y^{2}/2} The positive...

    Evaluating a term in bra-ket notation

    Hi, i am evaluating the integral \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dE \langle p'|E \rangle \langle E| e^{-iEt/ \hbar} |p\rangle However, i am unsure how to evaluate \langle E| e^{-iEt/ \hbar} |p\rangle . I am not sure if it is simply e^{-iEt/ \hbar} \times \langle E|p\rangle or something else. Any...

    Second Solution to Bessel's Function of order zero

    Frobenius Method Exceptional case r1=r2 For the Frobenius Method for the exceptional case r1=r2... is the equation for the second solution y_{2}= y_{1} ln (x) + x^{r_{1}+1}\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_{n}x^{n} or y_{2}= y_{1} ln (x) + x^{r_{1}}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}b_{n}x^{n} In a way both...

    Differential Equation (cosx)y +y=0 using power/taylor series

    So if i change the summation index for the second derivative i get... \sum^{\infty}_{n=0}(n+2)(n+1)c_{n+2}x^{n} and the first power series reamins the same. Also for cosx it is \sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\frac{(-1)^{n}(x)^{2n}}{(2n)!} However, once i get to this stage... do i multiply...

    Non homogeneous ODE particular solution using power series

    So the choice of a's (in this case a_{0} and a_{1}) is up to me, but the final answer has to satisfy the DE, right?

    Non homogeneous ODE particular solution using power series

    Ok... so y=a_{0}+a_{1}x+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{3}x^{3}+a_{4}x^{4}+a_{5}x^{5}... y"= 2a_{2}+6a_{3}x+12a_{4}x^{2}+20a_{5}x^{3}+30a_{6}x^{4}+42a_{7}x^{5}... x= 0+x+0x^{2}+0x^{3}+0x^{4}+0x^{5}... y"+y=x...
