Definition
Let:
- $-\map {\dfrac \d {\d x} } {P h'} + Q h = 0$
with boundary conditions:
- $\map h a = 0, \quad \map h c = 0, \quad a < c \le b$
Suppose:
- $\map h x = 0 \quad \neg \forall x \in \closedint a b$
Suppose:
- $\map h a = 0, \quad \map h {\tilde a} = 0, \quad a \ne \tilde a$
Then the point $\tilde a$ is called conjugate to the point $a$ with respect to solution to the aforementioned differential equation.
Are both a and c conjugate?
You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by explaining it. To discuss this point in more detail, feel free to use the talk page.
If you are able to explain it, then when you have done so you can remove this instance of {{Explain}} from the code.
Sources
As such, the following source works, along with any process flow, will need to be reviewed.
Specifically: with respect to definitions 1, 2 and 3
If you have access to any of these works, then you are invited to review this list, and make any necessary corrections.
When you have done this, move the citation of that source work (if it is appropriate that it stay on this page) above this message, into the usual chronological ordering.
When this has been done for all of the sources below, {{SourceReview}} should be removed from the code.
