Homework Statement


Find eigenfunctions and eigenvalues to the operator
Ly=-y''
boundary conditions are y(0)=y'(1)=0. express f(x)=x2-2x as aseries of the eigenfunctions. use this to calculate \sum\frac{1}{(2k+1)<sup>6</sup>}

Your results, so far, look okay to me. You need to decide on whether your index variable is going to be called n or k. Stick with just one. Also, the summation should start from n=0, not n=1.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
