3. (a) Use eigenfunction expansion to find the bounded solution of
- x2)u" – xu + 2u = x + x
on -1 < a < 1. [Hint: write the equation in self-adjoint form to determine which
expansion functions to use.]
(b) What can you say about the solution of
(1 – 2²)u" – xu' + 4u = a,
with u again bounded on [-1, 1]?
