Abstract

The solution of a partial differential equation for a periodic driving force or source of unit strength that satisfies specified boundary conditions is called the Green’s function of the specified differential equation for the specified boundary conditions. Thus, the Green’s function represents the effect of a unit source or force at any point of the system (called force point) on the field at the point of observation (called observation or field point).
