Homework Statement


I required to make a perturbation expansion in ε of the function:

Homework Equations



A(X,y,z)=A(x-εsin(wy),y,z).
X=x-εsin(wy)

The Attempt at a Solution


Solution:
A(X,y,z)=A0(X,z)+ε[A1(X,z)+∂/∂XA0(X,z)]sin(wy)+o(ε^2)
I get the terms A0(X,z) and ∂/∂XA0(X,z)sin(w,y) with the derivative with respect to ε . But I could not get A1.
Thanks

Can you elaborate on this?

Do you want to find a Taylor series for this function?

In that case you've got the formula for Taylor series in more than one variables.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
