At , the Fredholm solvability condition is
by orthogonality of the Fourier sine basis. Thus a non-unique solution exists exactly when , with any real . Since , the complete family is
If there is no solution, for any . In particular, when , the family reduces to the kernel ; it is still non-unique. There is no choice of producing a unique solution for this length.
