GREEN’S FUNCTIONS WITH APPLICATIONS Second Edition
Chapter 1 Historical DevelopmentOne of the fundamental problems of field theory1is the constructionof solutions to linear differential equations when there is a specified sourceand the differential equation must satisfy certain boundary conditions. Thepurpose of this book is to show how Green s FUNCTIONS provide a powerfulmethod for obtaining these solutions. In this chapter, we present a historicaloverview of their MR. GREEN S ESSAYIn 1828 George Green(1793 1841) published anEssay on the Applicationof Mathematical Analysis to the Theory of Electricity and Magnetism. In thisseminal work of mathematical physics, Green sought to determine the electricpotential within a vacuum bounded by conductors with specified today s notation we would say that he examined the solutions of 2u= fwithin a volumeVthat satisfy certain boundary conditions along theory in which the basic quantities are fields, such as electromagnetic 2015 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLCC opyrighted Material Taylor & Francis2 Green s FUNCTIONS with ApplicationsTo solve this problem, Green first considered a problemwhere the sourceis a point charge.
solving (in the case of Sturm-Liouville problem) d dx % f(x) dg dx & +p(x)g = −δ(x−ξ)(1.1.7) with homogeneous boundary conditions, where δ(x − ξ) was the recently in-troduced delta function by Dirac. The advantage of this formulation was that the powerful techniques of eigenvalue expansions and transform methods
