VTRMC 2006 Problem 4

    We want to find functions p(t)p(t) , q(t)q(t) , f(t)f(t) such that

    (a) pp and qq are continuous functions on the open interval (0,π)(0,\pi) . (b) ff is an infinitely differentiable nonzero function on the whole real line (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty) such that f(0)=f′(0)=f′′(0)f(0)=f'(0)=f''(0) . (c) y=sin⁡ty=\sin t and y=f(t)y=f(t) are solutions of the differential equation y′′+p(t)y′+q(t)y=0y''+p(t)y'+q(t)y=0 on (0,π)(0,\pi) .

    Is this possible? Either prove this is not possible, or show this is possible by providing an explicit example of such f,p,qf,p,q .
