The first model problem
$$ -u''(x) = f(x),\quad x\in\Omega=[0,L],\quad u(0)=0,\ u(L)=0$$
Basis functions:
$$ \baspsi_i(x) = \sinL{i},\quad i\in\If$$
Residual:
$$
\begin{align*}
R(x;c_0,\ldots,c_N) &= u''(x) + f(x),\nonumber\\
&= \frac{d^2}{dx^2}\left(\sum_{j\in\If} c_j\baspsi_j(x)\right)
+ f(x),\nonumber\\
&= -\sum_{j\in\If} c_j\baspsi_j''(x) + f(x)
\end{align*}
