Part IB, 2006
(a) Find the Fourier sine series of the function
for .
(b) The differential operator acting on is given by
Show that the eigenvalues in the eigenvalue problem
are given by , and find the corresponding eigenfunctions .
By expressing the equation in Sturm-Liouville form or otherwise, write down the orthogonality relation for the . Assuming the completeness of the eigenfunctions and using the result of part (a), find, in the form of a series, a function which satisfies
and .
