The Orthogonal Quadrilateral Basis

The straight tensor product property of the quadrilateral gives a very simple form for the operator, it is the sum of two one-dimensional operators. Similarly, each eigenfunction is a straight tensor product of one-dimensional eigenfunctions and their eigenvalue is a sum of the one-dimensional eigenvalues.
