- Green's Function Solution to Poisson/Helmholtz equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the Green's function solution for the Helmholtz equation and Poisson equation under Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The integral form of the solution f(x') is expressed using the Green's function g(x,x'), which is essential for solving these equations in three-dimensional space. The condition for the Green's function on the surface S for the Poisson equation with Neumann boundary conditions is also highlighted, emphasizing the need for an undetermined constant in the integral solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Green's functions in differential equations
  • Knowledge of Helmholtz equation and Poisson equation
  • Familiarity with boundary conditions (Dirichlet and Neumann)
  • Basic concepts of integral equations in three dimensions
NEXT STEPS

URGENT - Green's Function Solution to Poisson/Helmholtz equations

hey, i have an exam pretty soon and couldn't find any answers/hints on how to do this:

1.How do you express the solution f(x') of the Helmholtz equation in terms of the green function g(x,x') in integral form, with dirichlet or neumann conditions?

2.What is the condition on the Green's function on the surface S for a poisson equation with neumann bc on S? and how do you get the integral solution up to an undetermined constant?

would be great if someone can help, ml

There are whole books written on these topics! We might be able to answer specific questions but I don't think anyone can give you a whole tutorial on this.
 
hey, i just need a specific integral solution for the helmholtz equation using greens function, assuming that it acts in 3d and is spherically symmetric (only dependent on the distance of the centre of the dirac function)
