Transform Dirichlet condition into mixed boundary condition

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the transformation of Dirichlet boundary conditions into mixed boundary conditions for the homogeneous linear differential equation \(y''(x) - y'(x) = 0\). The original Dirichlet conditions \(y(0) = y(1) = 0\) cannot be transformed into mixed conditions \(y(0) = y'(1) = 0\). The participants confirm that such a transformation is not feasible, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of boundary conditions in differential equations.

Hello,
If I have a homgeneous linear differential equation like this one (or any other eq):
$$y''(x)-y'(x)=0$$
And they give me these Dirichlet boundary conditions:
$$y(0)=y(1)=0$$
Can I transform them into a mixed boundary conditions?:
$$y(0)=y'(1)=0$$

I tried solving the equation, derivating it and using the original boundary conditions but I don't get anything.

Thak you
