| Jun 11, 2022 at 16:23 | comment | added | user900940 | @EmilioPisanty that makes sense for how the question was phrased. However, that feels less robust, especially when considering operators who only equal the d'Alembertian at the principal level (you no longer get a simple Helmholtz equation when converting to a stationary problem). | |
| Jun 11, 2022 at 16:21 | comment | added | user900940 | @ZeroTheHero gotcha. Do you have any ideas on a standard name? I'm more interested in the technical mathematical phrasing, so I am not worried if it is somewhat inaccurate with the standard physical interpretation. | |
| Jun 11, 2022 at 6:41 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | I would call it a Helmholtz eigenfunction. | |
