    What is the final expression for the energy in separation of variables?

    Suppose you have some partiel DE describing a physical system with 2 degrees of freedom (e.g. the SE). If you try separation of variables you get something like: Hg(x)h(y) = Eg(x)h(y) now you can separate this to two equations, but the energy has to go in one of them. Is the final...
