dr (pdy)
+qy+loy = 0, a<x<b.
dx
Suppose we have a sequence of eigenfunctions yn, corresponding to distinct eigen-
values. Derive the formula
d

dz (P(YnYm — YmYn)).
-
(b) Show that Chebyshev's equation
-
(1 − x²)y″ − xy' + λy = 0,
-1 < x <1
can be written in the Sturm-Liouville form
− x²) ¹³ y′ ) ' + \( 1 − x²) ¯ ½³ y = 0,
-
−1 < x < 1.
(c) It can be shown that Chebyshev's equation with the boundary conditions
y(x), y(x) remain bounded as x → ±1
has eigenvalues \n = n², n = 0, 1, 2, .... The corresponding eigenfunctions yn are
Chebyshev's polynomials T(x) satisfying the recurrence relation
Tn+1(x) = 2xTn(x) — Tn−1(x),
To(x) = 1, T₁(x) = = x.
Find T3(x) and T₁(x) and verify that they satisfy Chebyshev's equation.
(d) By using the result of (a) and (b) show that
[ In (x) Tm(x)
(1 - x²)
dx 0, for nm.
