Insulated ends ux=0u_x=0 become Neumann conditions on XX

Consider the boundary value problem ut=uxxu_t=u_{xx}, 0<x<c0<x<c, t>0t>0, with ux(0,t)=0=ux(c,t)u_x(0,t)=0=u_x(c,t), t>0t>0, and u(x,0)=f(x)u(x,0)=f(x). Substituting u(x,t)=X(x)T(t)u(x,t)=X(x)T(t) we generate the following Sturm–Liouville problem for X(x)X(x):
