I am stuck on this Self-test 1.6 in molecular quantum mechanics by atkins and friedman.
Probably making use of the completeness relation the question is the following: Show that if <Ωf>*=-Ωf*, then <Ω>=0 for any real function f.
Anyone got a clue?
 
Hi ChemicalTom
The self test 1.6 in the book you mentioned, is different from the problem you've posted. I'm using fourth edition... correct me if I'm wrong...
