Statement of The Equation
Where is the Laplace operator, λ is a constant, f is an arbitrary function of position (known as the "source function") and u is the function to be determined.
In the homogenous case (f=0), the screened Poisson equation is the same as the time-independent Klein–Gordon equation. In the inhomogeneous case, the screened Poisson equation is very similar to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation, the only difference being the sign within the brackets.
