Eigenfunction
Function that is an eigenvector of a linear operator on a function space
In mathematics, an eigenfunction of a linear operator D defined on some function space is any non-zero function f {\displaystyle f} in that space that, when acted upon by D, is only multiplied by some scaling factor called an eigenvalue. As an equation, this condition can be written as D f = λ f {\displaystyle Df=\lambda f} for some scalar eigenvalue λ . {\displaystyle \lambda .} The solutions to this equation may also be subject to boundary conditions that limit the allowable eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.

An eigenfunction is a type of eigenvector.
