I was stuck in proving the orthogonality of Hermite functions. Assume our Hermite functions is defined as $H_{n} = e^{-x^{2}/2}\frac{d^{n}}{dx^{n}}e^{-x^{2}/2}$. What I want to show is $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} H_{n}H_{m}e^{-x^{2}}dx = 0-(1).$$
If we modify the weight $e^{-x^{2}}$ in (1.) to be $e^{-x^{2}/2}$, in this case, we have $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} H_{n}H_{m}e^{-x^{2}/2} dx = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} H_{m} (\frac{d^{n}}{dx^{n}}e^{-x^{2}/2}) dx -(2)$$ To prove $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} H_{m} (\frac{d^{n}}{dx^{n}}e^{-x^{2}/2}) dx=0$, it is equivalent to show that $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} x^{m} (\frac{d^{n}}{dx^{n}}e^{-x^{2}/2}) dx=0$ for any m < n , which can be proved by using integration by parts m-times. However, this argument can not be applied to (1.).
Any hint or reference on how to prove (1.) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
