Hi community :P

Need some help with a differential Equation:

3/2y(x)+xy'(x)+y'''(x)=0

actually I'm looking for an asymptotic solution, when x -> infinity.

I made some research about that Eq. and here what i have found:

1 guy found an asymptotic sol. for a more general eq.:

Hershenov, J. Solutions of the differential equation y''' +axy'+by = 0. Stud. Appl. Math. 55 (1976), 301-314.

other guy found a solution of a more general eq:

Pfeiffer, G. W. Asymptotic solutions of y"'+q(x)y'+r(x)y=0. J. Differential Equations 11 (1972), 145-155.

but unfortunaly i can't find any of those articles.

and the last thing which i know:

the eq. y'''-4xy'-2y=0 is a generaliaed Airy's eq. whose solutions are well studied...but its not a thing I am looking for...

any advice is very appreciated.
and if some one could find one of those articles i'll appreciate that VERY MUCH!

Thx for your concideration.

PS: Sorry my bad english.

sry... mistake with the right forum for the thread.
Move it please to Diff. Eq. forum.
thx
 
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...
