Hill differential equation
In mathematics, the Hill equation or Hill differential equation is the second-order linear ordinary differential equation d 2 y d t 2 + f ( t ) y = 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}}+f(t)y=0,} where f ( t ) {\displaystyle f(t)} is a periodic function with minimal period π {\displaystyle \pi } . By this we mean that for all t {\displaystyle t} f ( t + π ) = f ( t ) , {\displaystyle f(t+\pi )=f(t),} and if p {\displaystyle p} is a number with 0 < p < π {\displaystyle 0<p<\pi } , the equation f ( t + p ) = f ( t ) {\displaystyle f(t+p)=f(t)} must fail for some t {\displaystyle t} .
