Discrete Green's Function
The Green's function of the discrete Schrödinger operator is given in the resolvent formalism by
where is understood to be the Kronecker delta function on the graph: ; that is, it equals 1 if v=w and 0 otherwise.
For fixed and a complex number, the Green's function considered to be a function of v is the unique solution to

Famous quotes containing the words discrete, green and/or function:
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“We worshipped,
we parted green from green,
we sought further thickets,
we dipped our ankles
through leaf-mould and earth,
and wood and wood-bank enchanted us.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Morality and its victim, the mother—what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible, more criminal, than our glorified sacred function of motherhood?”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
