Hill's equation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the Hill's equation or Hill differential equation (Hill (1886)) is the second-order ordinary differential equation

\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+\left(\theta_0+2\sum_{n=1}^\infty \theta_n \cos(2nx) \right ) y=0,

where the θ's are constants.
