The prism is simply a tensor product of a triangle and a uniform third direction. Hence, we sum the operator for the triangle in the (r,t) directions and the one-dimensional operator in the s direction. Likewise, we can obtain the eigenfunction/eigenvalue pairs from the above analysis for the triangles.
