Re: Proof of Corollary

A corrollary should follow from a preceeding theorem, so that's the first place to look.  What book/page number is this?

I'm guessing that L_n is an nth order differential equation?  That determinant is almost exactly the same as the Wronskian, I would first calculate that out.  You should be able to come up with a pretty simple closed form for it.


"In the real world, this would be a problem.  But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist.  So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
