$\textsf{ Verify the following given functions is a solution of the differential equation}\\ \\$
$y''''+4y'''+3y=t\\$
$y_1(t)=t/3$
\begin{align*}
(t/3)''''+4(t/3)'''+(t/3)&=t\\
0+0+t&=t
\end{align*}
$y_2(t)=e^{-t}+t/3$
\begin{align*}
(e^{-t}+t/3)''''+4(e^{-t}+t/3)'''+3(e^{-t}+t/3)&=t\\
e^{-t}-4e^{-t}+3e^{-t}+3e^{-t}+t&=t\\
t&=t
\end{align*}

so is it Raj now?

A bunch of typos but it's correct. First one it's $3 \cdot (t/3)$, and second one you copied $3e^{-t}$ twice.

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...
