Hello, I have a feeling that the solution to this question is going to be incredibly obvious, so my apologies if this turns out to be really dumb. How do I solve the following eigenvalue problem:
[tex]
\begin{bmatrix}
\partial_x^2 + \mu + u(x) & u(x)^2 \\
\bar{u(x)}^2 & \partial_x^2 + \mu + u(x)
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
a(x)\\
b(x)
\end{bmatrix}
=
\omega(x)
\begin{bmatrix}
a(x)\\
b(x)
\end{bmatrix}
[/tex]
where all x dependencies have been declared. I know the definition of the function [itex] u(x)[/itex], but I need to solve for the eigenfrequency and eigenvectors.
