Green's Function - Further Examples

Further Examples

  • Let n = 1 and let the subset be all of R. Let L be d/dx. Then, the Heaviside step function H(x − x0) is a Green's function of L at x0.
  • Let n = 2 and let the subset be the quarter-plane { (x, y) : x, y ≥ 0 } and L be the Laplacian. Also, assume a Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed at x = 0 and a Neumann boundary condition is imposed at y = 0. Then the Green's function is
\begin{align} & {} \quad G(x, y, x_0, y_0) \\ & = \dfrac{1}{2\pi}\left \\ & {} \quad {}+\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\left \end{align}

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    “Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
