 Regular solution of a forced Chebyshev equation

For noninteger real $\gamma$, expand a smooth forcing as $F={\sum }_{n\ge 0}{F}_n{T}_n$ in Chebyshev polynomials. Because $(1-x^2)T_n^{\prime \prime }-x{T}_n^{\prime }=-n^2{T}_n$, division of each coefficient by ${\gamma }^2-n^2$ gives the regular solution. The coefficients use the weighted inner product with weight $(1-x^2{)}^{-1/2}$. Choosing the same endpoint domain as the regular eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville problem is essential: finite values alone also allow homogeneous solutions $\cos (\gamma \arccos x)$ and $\sin (\gamma \arccos x)$, which generally have divergent endpoint derivatives. Setting $x=\cos \theta$ converts the regular endpoint condition into the Neumann boundary conditions $Z_{\theta }(0)=Z_{\theta }(\pi )=0$. The homogeneous equation then has no nonzero solution when $\gamma$ is noninteger, proving uniqueness in this domain.
