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)

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
