Hello!

I'm stuck at the moment with this differential equation. I've been trying to use the method for solving these equations, but my answer is not correct according to my book. Could anyone please explain what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your reply =)

A stupid mistake from my side, I changed it up and the only difference in the answer is that te^-t is now -te^-t. Still, the book doesn't agree with me unless they have the answer on some weird form. I also checked wolfram, they gave me this answer:

What exactly did they do to simplify it like that?
 
Where is the problem after the correction of sign ?

There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
