Line 83:
From [[functional analysis]], we know that we do not in fact need to try every possible test function ''v'' in V. In fact, if E={''e''<sub>1</sub>,''e''<sub>2</sub>,...} is a subset of V so that its [[linear span]] is [[dense]] in V (in a suitable topology) then we can use only those functions as test functions. That is, we are now trying to find a solution to the problem
 
(*) &psi;(''u'',''e<sub>j</sub>'')=&int;<sub>T</sub>''u' g'' &middot; ''e'<sub>j</sub>'' for every ''e<sub>j</sub>'' in E.
