Let $X_t, t\geq 0$ be a Poisson process with rate parameter $\lambda$. Compute the karhunen-loeve expansion of $X$ in interval [0, T]. How about the KL expansion of the centered process $X_t-\lambda t$?

The auto-correlation function of poisson process is $R(s,t)=\lambda^2 st + \lambda \min(s,t)$.
By definition, KL expansion should satisfy $\int_0^T R(s,t) \phi_n(t) dt = \lambda_n  \phi_n(s)$.

I've problems figuring out how to solve the integrated equation.

For wiener process, this link (http://mathoverflow.net/questions/59337/karhunenloeve-approximation-of-brownian-motion-and-diffusions) and wikipedia article on KL expansion was useful.
