I can't seem to find an explicit or analytical solution to a boundary value problem and thought I might ask those more knowledgeable on the subject than me. If t is an independent variable and m(t) and n(t) are two dependent variables with the following 8 constraints:

a) m' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2 b) n' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2
c) m' ' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2 d) n' ' =0 @T=0 and t=pi/2

I need to solve the following differential equation:

(((1+1/4)+((pi/2-t)+m)/pi)∙(1+m^' )+((3-1/4)-((pi/2-t)-n)/pi)∙(1-n^' )) + (((1+1/4)+(t+m)/pi)∙(1+m^' )+((3-1/4)-(t-n)/pi)∙(1-n^' )) = 1

for m(t) and n(t), you can assume a profile for one of them as long as it is satisfies the conditions listed above. Thus far I've had no luck finding a profile for both that can satisfy those boundary conditions.

Here's a slightly easier to read version, I didn't see the formatting errors when I copied it over from equation editor:
(((1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{(\frac{pi}{2}-t)+m}{pi})∙(1+m' )+((3-\frac{1}{4})-\frac{(\frac{pi}{2}-t)-n}{pi})∙(1-n' )) + (((1+\frac{1}{4})+\frac{t+m}{pi})∙(1+m' )+((3-\frac{1}{4})-\frac{t-n}{pi})∙(1-n' )) = 1
 
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...
