Use equation (11.16) to generalize the operator equations (11.18) as follows:

(a) Show thatxmδ(n)(x)=0ifm>n; compare equation (11.18a).

(b) Show thatxnδ(n)(x)=(-1)nn!δ(x); compare (11.18b) and (11.18c).

(c) Show thatxmδ(n)(x)=(-1)mn!(n-m)δ(n-m)(x),m⩽n.

(d) Use the results in (a) and (b) to show that(x2+y2+z2)∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]=6δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)

(a) xmδn(x)=0.

(b) xεδ(n)(x)=(-1)cn!δ(x).

(c)xmδ(*)(x)=(-1)nnc-m!δ(n-m)(x)

(d)x2+y2+z2∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]=6δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

The given condition is

(a) m>n.

(b) m⩽n.

(c)m⩽n

(d)x2+y2+z2∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]=6δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)

02

Definition of Functional Operator 

A function operator is a function that takes one (or more) functions as input and returns a function as output. In some ways, function operators are similar to functional

03

(a) Verify the operator equation xmδ(n)(x)=0 if m > n

Consider the integral.

∫xm(x)ϕ(x)δ(n)(x)dx(m>n)

Solve above integral.

∫xmδ(n)(x)ϕ(x)dx=(-1)nd*dx*xmϕ(x)m+x=0

In Above integral all the terms are multiplied by x,0 atx=0the terms a will be zero.

Hence, xmδn(x)=0.

04

(b) Verify the operator equation xnδ(n)(x)=(-1)nn!δ(x) 

Consider the integral.

∫xmδ(n)(x)ϕ(x)dx(m⩽n)

Solve above integral.

∫xnδ(n)(x)ϕ(x)dx=(-1)ndndxnxmϕ(x)

=(-1)nC0nϕ(x)d*dsnxs+C1nϕ1(x)d-1dn-1xn+……+Cmnxmϕ(x)(x)xnafs=0

=(-1)n[n!ϕ(0)+0+…..+0]

=(-1)nn!δ(x)

Hence, xεδ(n)(x)=(-1)cn!δ(x).

05

(c) Verify the operator equationxmδ(n)(x)=(-1)mn!(n-m)δ(n-m)(x),m⩽n

Consider the integral.

∫-7xnδ(e)(x)ϕ(x)dx(m⩽n)

Solve above integral.

∫xmδ(ε)(x)ϕ(x)dx=(-1)εdndx*xmϕ(x)=(-1)nnc0ϕ(x)dndx*xm+nc1ϕ1(x)dn-1dxx-1xm+....+nc-mm!ϕ(n-m)(x)+nccxmm!ϕ(n)(x)=(-1)(-1)-αne-mm!∫ϕ(x)δ(π-π)dx=(-1)πnc-∞m!δ(π-π)(x)

Hence,xmδ(*)(x)=(-1)nnc-m!δ(n-m)(x) .

06

Show the operator equation (x2+y2+z2)∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]=6δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)

(d)

Solve

x2+y2+z2∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]x2+y2+z2δ*(x)δ(y)δ(z)+δ(x)δ*(y)δ(z)+δ(x)δ(y)δ*(z)

Use above result further.

x2j4(x)=21δ(x)x2δ(x)=2s(x)

Solvex2+y2+z2∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)∣by use of above results.

x2+y2+z2δ*(x)δ(y)δ(z)=x2δ*(x)δ(y)δ(z)+y2δ*(x)δ(y)δ(z)+z2δ*(x)δ(y)δ(z)=2δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)+0+0

So, it is clear that x2+y2+z2∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]=6δ(x)δ(y)δ(z).

Hence,x2+y2+z2∇2[δ(x)δ(y)δ(z)]=6δ(x)δ(y)δ(z).
