Abstract
The idea of the thermodynamic Green Functions (GF, GF’s) was originally introduced in statistical physics in order to describe the response of a considered system with respect to an external perturbation. The GF’s allow us to calculate the average values of observables in a direct way, equivalent to the average values obtained by means of the statistical operator procedure without, however, the need to know the explicit form for the statistical operator. The thermodynamic GF technique widely used in solid state physics has been confirmed by successful results in this area. At present, the GF method is applied to electrochemical problems for which it seems to be an equally satisfactory and convenient tool for investigations.
