Set of squae-ntegable functon L : functon space F Motvaton: In ou pevous dscussons we have seen that fo fee patcles wave equatons (Helmholt o Schödnge) can be expessed n tems of egenvalue equatons.

Fo example, n the case of nhomogeneous but lnea and sotopc medum such as photonc cystals the wave equaton govenng E can be wtten as H H c detemned (HW). H and c and E E, whee and ae opeatos to be In fndng solutons to these egenvalue equatons one often has to expand the wave functon (, H, E ) n tems of othe functons.
