I think it would be a good idea. I'm going to add a section on the applicability of separation of variables which will include the translated material and also explain the link to the spectral theorem for PDEs (which subsumes the Fourier series case). I think an example where separation of variables
705: 329: 455: 498: 234:
In the article it is stated that solutions to PDEs can be expressed as a sum in which each term is a product of several functions which each depend on only one variable. For example, given the equation

The German language version of this article includes a theorem (and proof) about when the method is actually applicable. Would it be a good idea to translate this and add it to the English version?

I have never seen separation of variables using sums before, but this should of course not be a problem. However (and this connects to a remark below) the space of functions of the form

The two examples are redundant! It would make more sense to have either one example or two different examples. I am going to erase one ...
108: 69: 1040: 44: 219: 198: 989: 973: 957: 912:. Therefore this method clearly does not find all solutions and at least a warning should be issued there. 494:
can be expressed as a Fourier series (assuming a compact domain where x and y run from zero to one) we have

This should be explained. The explanation is really quite simple. Since any function

Why can solutions to PDEs be written as sums of products?

we are told to assume that the solution can be written
