You should probably start by being precise, if possible, about the vector spaces (of functions) upon which these linear operators are to be defined. The results will differ, for example, if your functions are polynomials on the real line, versus (say) entire functions of a single complex variable. regards, mathtalk-ga |

Let's consider the space of real-valued functions of a real number x. Any real number a is an eigenvalue of d/dx, with eigenfunction exp(ax). Any positive real number a^2 is an eigenvalue of d^2/dx^2, with eigenfunction exp(ax). |
