Define Hermite Polynomials to Sturm-Liouville Form?

Expert Solution
What is Hermite Polynomials?

For a Hermite Polynomial, we begin with the differential equation
y''-2xy'+2ny=0

First, we need to arrange the differential equation so it can be written in the form:

(p(x)y')'+(q(x)+λr(x))y=0

For the Hermite differential equation, we use r(x)=e-x2to get

e-x2y''-2xe-x2y'+2ne-x2y=0
