If, "It is extremely important that the eigenvalue λ be independent of time", then what does, "Step 3. Determine the time evolution of the eigenvalues λ..." mean?


IMHO IN Mathematical Physics, as well as general mathematics it is Implict that if λ is independant of time then δ/δt(λv)is equivalent to λ δ/δt(v).... Sorry I've forgotten Mathematica notation.. these [δ] are supposed to be partial 'del's I studied scattering theory a long time ago, and reckon that this is a nice concise piece of moderate level physics. I think that anyone looking at this information would probably have the requisite background knowledge and mathematical ability to contextualise this. a reference to Scattering theory texts would be nice for exploratory students would be nice.
