  • Abstract:
  • Eigenfunction expansions offer a key method for addressing second-order differential equations, particularly in boundary value problems and spectral analysis. This paper examines the theoretical basis, characteristics, and applications of eigenfunction expansions, illustrating how differential equations can be represented as an infinite series of orthogonal eigenfunctions. The analysis is based on Sturm-Liouville theory, wherein self-adjoint differential operators produce discrete eigenvalues and a complete set of orthogonal eigenfunctions. The expansion theorem asserts that any function in a specified space may be expressed as a summation of eigenfunctions, each multiplied by suitable coefficients. These expansions enable efficient solutions in quantum physics, fluid dynamics, wave propagation, and heat conduction through orthogonality and completeness. Moreover, boundary conditions are essential in determining eigenfunction behavior, affecting solution convergence and precision. This paper improves the mathematical tools for addressing physical and engineering problems by showing the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of eigenfunction expansions. Future prospects emphasize the enhancement of computational methodologies for managing intricate systems and the expansion of eigenfunction applications in non-linear differential equations.
