Green function

Japanese: グリーン関数 - グリーンかんすう(英語表記)Green function
Green function
In a three-dimensional differential equation, when Δ is Laplace's operator (Laplacian), the solution to ΔG ( x )=-δ( x -ξ) is given by G ( x ,ξ)=1/4π| x -ξ|-1. This G ( x ,ξ) is called the Green's function of this differential equation. Using this, the solution to the differential equation can be expressed as follows. In general, a method using a similar Green's function is useful when solving boundary value problems for elliptic or parabolic partial differential equations. In field theory, Green's functions are used to clarify causal relationships. In statistical mechanics, the temperature Green's function, which can be seen as an extension of correlation functions or distribution functions, is widely used.
