hello everyone!
I had a stuck in solving problem for a week now, so need help.
Please help!

the problem is as follows.In a closed interval I=[0,\pi], the 2-times continuously differentiable function \phi(x) and \psi(x) meet the following conditions (they're ranged in \mathbb{R}).

\psi ''(x)+\psi(x)=\phi ''(x)+\phi(x)=0

Assume f(x) be a continuous function defined in I, and let G(x,y), u(x) as followings.
G(x,y)=\Bigg\{\begin{array}{l}\phi(x)\psi(y)\quad (0\leq y\leq x\leq \pi) \\ \psi(x)\phi(y)\quad (0\leq x\leq y\leq \pi) \end{array}<br /> \\\\<br /> u(x)=\int^\pi_0 G(x,y)f(y)dy

Now my question is, what would be a proof for the equation: u&#039;&#039;(x)+u(x)=Wf(x) (for \exists W is a constant).

I found u''(x)+u(x) constantly becomes 0 (for reason that u&#039;&#039;(x)=\displaystyle{\int^\pi_0 \frac{\partial^2G(x,y)}{\partial{x}^2}f(y)dy} = -u(x)).Any hidden concept or my ignorance makes this so hard?

<br /> u(x)=\int^\pi_0 G(x,y)f(y)dy = \int_0^x G(x, y) f(y) dy+ \int_x^{\pi} G(x, y) f(y) dy<br /> \\ = \int_0^x \phi(x) \psi(y) f(y) dy+ \int_x^{\pi} \psi(x) \phi(y) f(y) dy<br /> \\ = \phi(x) \int_0^x \psi(y) f(y) dy+ \psi(x)\int_x^{\pi} \phi(y) f(y) dy<br />

Differentiate this carefully and you will see that your conclusion ## u''(x) = -u(x) ## is incorrect.

with your denotation, I found that u&#039;&#039;=-u+(\phi &#039;\psi-\psi &#039;\phi)f conveys the 1st differencial of \phi &#039;\psi-\psi &#039;\phiequals to 0 leads its constancy.
Thank you!
 
##\phi '\psi-\psi '\phi ## is not zero generally. It is a constant. The two functions are solutions of y'' + y = 0, and the general form of the solution is well known. Use it to prove the constancy of ##\phi '\psi-\psi '\phi ##.
 
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...
