Homework Statement
I'm currently trying to equate two functions represented by unequal Fourier Bessel series within a specific region. The coefficients have to be independent of any variables, as their dependency would violate the properties of the Poisson or Laplace equations.

I tried to use eigen decomposition, which requires that the functions be self-adjoint, which is contingent upon satisfying Robin boundary conditions. The eigenvalues must also be consistent for both axial and radial directions, as dictated by the separation of variables technique. In the analysis, the eigenvalue
k_n=2nπ/Wr
was selected, which ensures natural orthogonality in the axial direction. However, this choice leads to singular behaviour in the radial direction Bessel functions, resulting in a lack of self-adjointness. Consequently, there is no orthogonality in the region of interest, preventing the separation of coefficients. Is the separation of variables approach ineffective in this scenario? Would it be advisable to consider any alternative methods, such as Green's functions?

As an add-on, can I adapt complex eigenvalues and use techniques like the Wiener-Hopf technique?
 
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...
