eigenfunction expansion

    0.01 sec.
eigenfunction expansion [′ī·gən‚fəŋk·shən ik′span·chən]
(mathematics)
By using spectral theory for linear operators defined on spaces composed of functions, in certain cases the operator equals an integral or series involving its eigenvectors; this is known as its eigenfunction expansion and is particularly useful in studying linear partial differential equations.
