Fourier and Legendre series The procedure is the same for both: write $f$ as a sum of basis functions with unknown coefficients, multiply by some other basis function $f_n$, integrate, and use the orthogonality properties to get an expression for the corresponding coefficient $c_n$. The generating function won't help you much. |

Good examples of Ansätze That's definitely the case if you think of the Ritz wavefunction as an approximation of the actual ground state, which is touchy and depends on the initial basis. However, you do get a perfectly rigorous bound on the lowest eigenvalue. |

How do I get insight into equations with the $\sum$ notation without actually expanding it for a specific n every time? ...eliminate the $\Sigma$s using the Einstein summation convention ;). |
