    As eigenfunctions of second order differential operators (Bochner’s theorem, Bochner (1929)). See the differential equations A ( x ) p n ′′ ( x ) + B ( x ) p n ( x ) + λ n p n ( x ) = 0 , in Table 18.8.1.

  • 4: 18.39 Applications in the Physical Sciences
    The nature of, and notations and common vocabulary for, the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of self-adjoint second order differential operators is overviewed in §1.18. … The fundamental quantum Schrödinger operator, also called the Hamiltonian, , is a second order differential operator of the form …

    §19.4(ii) Differential Equations
    Then …If ϕ = π / 2 , then these two equations become hypergeometric differential equations (15.10.1) for K ( k ) and E ( k ) . An analogous differential equation of third order for Π ( ϕ , α 2 , k ) is given in Byrd and Friedman (1971, 118.03).
    7: 2.9 Difference Equations
    or equivalently the second-order homogeneous linear difference equation …in which Δ is the forward difference operator3.6(i)). … This situation is analogous to second-order homogeneous linear differential equations with an irregular singularity of rank 1 at infinity (§2.7(ii)). … For asymptotic approximations to solutions of second-order difference equations analogous to the Liouville–Green (WKBJ) approximation for differential equations (§2.7(iii)) see Spigler and Vianello (1992, 1997) and Spigler et al. (1999). … For discussions of turning points, transition points, and uniform asymptotic expansions for solutions of linear difference equations of the second order see Wang and Wong (2003, 2005). …
