Approximation Methods
... - as another example of the variational method, consider a particle in one dimensional box. We should expect it to be symmetric about x = a/2 and to go to zero at the walls. - one of the simplest functions with this properties is xn ( a-x)n , where n is a positive integer , consequently , let’s esti ...
