Green’s function differential equation is typically used to solve linear inhomogeneous differential equations.
[latex]
\[
L G(x, s) = \delta(x – s)
\]
Here:
LLis the differential operator.
G(x,s)G(x, s)is the Green’s function.
δ(x−s)\delta(x – s)is the Dirac delta function.
Example for a Specific Case:
For the operator
L=d2dx2−k2L = \frac{d^2}{dx^2} – k^2
:
[latex]
\[
\left( \frac{d^2}{dx^2} – k^2 \right) G(x, s) = \delta(x – s)
\]
