To prove that a theory is linear, it is essential to demonstrate that the differential equations involved are linear differential equations. A prime example of this is the Schrödinger equation, which is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics. Establishing the linearity of a theory requires a thorough understanding of the properties and solutions of these equations. Key aspects include the superposition principle and the behavior of linear operators.
