Abstract
The two-point boundary value problem
occurs, e.g. when we separate the variables in the wave equation
by assuming that
If the boundary conditions are
the problem can be interpreted in terms of the vibrations of a uniform string, with fixed end-points (x=0, x = 1) and with initial displacement z(x, 0).
