Separable Definition and 196 Threads

In a central potential problem we have for the Hamiltonian the expression: ##H=\frac{p^2}{2m}+V(r)## and we use to solve problems like this noting that the Hamiltonian is separable, by separable I mean that we can express the Hamiltonian as the sum of multiple parts each one commuting with the...

This is a physics problem from Griffith's Electrodynamics. I'm mainly asking about the math here. I found the DE in the box at part (d). To solve it, I did: ##\sqrt V {d^2 V} = \beta dx^2## Integrating twice: ##\frac {4} {15} V^{2.5} = \beta x^2/2## Why is my method wrong? Thanks for the help.

Greetings, I have a question to the following section of the book https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319163741: I understand that the equation is separable, since I can just write $$ \int_{x_0}^{x} \frac {1}{V(x', \xi, \eta)}dx' =\int_{0}^{t}dt' .$$ However, without knowing the exact shape...

I fell upon such an equation : $$-E'(v)a(1+\frac{cE(v)}{\sqrt{E(v)^2-1}})=vE(v)+c\sqrt{E(v)^2-1}$$ It's not separable in E on one side and v expression on the other. So I'm looking for methods to solve this maybe changes of coordinates ?

I introduced the unitary transformation ##U=U_a \otimes U_b## with ##(U_a\otimes 1):\;|s,s> \rightarrow\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\sum_t \omega^{ts}|t,s> ## und ##(1\otimes U_b):\;|s,s> \rightarrow\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}\sum_t \omega^{-ts}|s,t> ## ##(\omega=e^{2\pi i/d}##) and let it act on the state in...

Hi, I am learning ODE and I have some problems that confuse me. In the textbook I am reading, it explains that if we have a separable ODE: ##x'=h(t)g(x(t))## then ##x=k## is the only constant solution iff ##x## is a root of ##g##. Moreover, it says "all other non-constant solutions are separated...

So It is well known that the 2D solution to the Laplace equation can be obtained by changing to complex coordinates ##u=x+iy## and ##v=x-iy##. This can be extended to n dimensions as long as the complex coordinates chosen also solve the Laplace equation. For example in 3D...

do you think of Bell's theorem when you think of forming a couple : that it builds a unity and is not separable ?

Hi. Bell's formulation of local realism is $$P(a,b)=\int\ d\lambda\cdot\rho(\lambda)p_A(a,\lambda)p_B(b,\lambda)\enspace.$$ Let's for simplicity assume there's only a finite number of states, so this becomes $$P(a,b)=\sum_{i} p_i\cdot\ p_A(a,i)p_B(b,i)\enspace.$$ I'm trying to translate this...

When solving a separable differential equation, my textbook says this: ln|v-49|=-t/5+C→ |v-49|=e-t/5+C→ v=49+ce-t/5 What happened to the absolute values? I think it has something to do with the exponential always being positive.

What is getting separated from what? I presume there is some historical founding case that involved separating something. Like how the original vector spaces were mental arrows in R^3.
