Abstract
In this letter we investigate the common procedure in which any wave function is expanded into a series of eigenfunctions. It is shown that as far as dynamical systems are concerned the expanding procedure involves various mathematical and physical difficulties. With or without introducing phase factors, such expansions do not represent dynamical wave functions.
