2 Using Green s functions with inhomogeneous BCs Surprise: Although Green s functions satisfy homogeneous boundary conditions, they can be used for problems with inhomogeneous BCs!

3 Using Green s functions with inhomogeneous BCs Surprise: Although Green s functions satisfy homogeneous boundary conditions, they can be used for problems with inhomogeneous BCs! For self adjoint L and u, v with homogeneous boundary conditions it follows that (Lv)u dx (Lu)v dx = 0.

4 Using Green s functions with inhomogeneous BCs Surprise: Although Green s functions satisfy homogeneous boundary conditions, they can be used for problems with inhomogeneous BCs! For self adjoint L and u, v with homogeneous boundary conditions it follows that (Lv)u dx (Lu)v dx = 0. But if u, v don t satisfy homogeneous boundary conditions, get (Lv)u dx (Lu)v dx = boundary terms involving u and v. This is called the Green s formula, which depends on L and.

5 Using Green s formula for inhomogeneous boundary conditions Want to solve Lu(x) = f (x) + inhomogeneous boundary conditions.

6 Using Green s formula for inhomogeneous boundary conditions Want to solve Lu(x) = f (x) + inhomogeneous boundary conditions. Set v(x) = G(x, x 0 ) in Green s formula (LG)u dx (Lu)G dx = boundary terms.

7 Using Green s formula for inhomogeneous boundary conditions Want to solve Lu(x) = f (x) + inhomogeneous boundary conditions. Set v(x) = G(x, x 0 ) in Green s formula (LG)u dx (Lu)G dx = boundary terms. Since LG = δ(x x 0 ) and Lu = f, we have δ(x x 0 )u(x)dx f (x)g(x, x 0 )dx = boundary terms

8 Using Green s formula for inhomogeneous boundary conditions Want to solve Lu(x) = f (x) + inhomogeneous boundary conditions. Set v(x) = G(x, x 0 ) in Green s formula (LG)u dx (Lu)G dx = boundary terms. Since LG = δ(x x 0 ) and Lu = f, we have δ(x x 0 )u(x)dx f (x)g(x, x 0 )dx = boundary terms Collapsing the integral involving the δ function, u(x 0 ) = G(x, x 0 )f (x)dx + boundary terms

12 Green s formula for Laplacian Want to solve u = f in, u = h on, For dimensions 2, the Green s formula is just Green s identity u v v u dx = u v ˆn v u ˆn dx. Let G solve G = δ(x x 0 ) and G = 0 on boundary. Substituting v(x) = G(x, x 0 ) into Green s formula, u(x)δ(x x 0 ) G(x, x 0 )f (x) dx = u(x) xg(x, x 0 ) ˆn(x) G(x, x 0 ) u(x) ˆn(x) dx

13 Green s formula for Laplacian Want to solve u = f in, u = h on, For dimensions 2, the Green s formula is just Green s identity u v v u dx = u v ˆn v u ˆn dx. Let G solve G = δ(x x 0 ) and G = 0 on boundary. Substituting v(x) = G(x, x 0 ) into Green s formula, u(x)δ(x x 0 ) G(x, x 0 )f (x) dx = u(x) xg(x, x 0 ) ˆn(x) G(x, x 0 ) u(x) ˆn(x) dx Simplifies to u(x 0 ) = G(x, x 0 )f (x)dx + h(x) x G(x, x 0 ) ˆn(x) dx,

Green s formula u v v u dx = u v ˆn v u ˆn dx. has both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary terms in u, but only know u(x, y, 0) ˆn = u z (x, y, 0). To make v ˆn = G ˆn vanish on boundary, need Green s function to respect boundary condition principle": The Green s function must have the same type of boundary conditions as the problem to be solved, and they must be homogeneous.

Since ˆn is directed outward, u(x) ˆn(x) = u z (x, y, 0), and u(x 0, y 0, z 0 ) = 1 2π h(x, y) (x x 0 ) 2 + (y y 0 ) 2 + z0 2 dxdy.

25 Symmetry (reciprocity) of the Green s function If L is self-adjoint, might expect that its inverse to also be: G(x, x 0 ) = G(x 0, x), Reciprocity"

26 Symmetry (reciprocity) of the Green s function If L is self-adjoint, might expect that its inverse to also be: G(x, x 0 ) = G(x 0, x), Reciprocity" Proof: Insert v(x) = G(x, x 1 ), u(x) = G(x, x 2 ), Lv = δ(x x 1 ) and Lu = δ(x x 2 ) into Green s formula: δ(x x 1 )G(x, x 2 )dx G(x, x 1 )δ(x x 2 )dx = 0 which simplifies to G(x 1, x 2 ) G(x 2, x 1 ) = 0.

27 Symmetry (reciprocity) of the Green s function If L is self-adjoint, might expect that its inverse to also be: G(x, x 0 ) = G(x 0, x), Reciprocity" Proof: Insert v(x) = G(x, x 1 ), u(x) = G(x, x 2 ), Lv = δ(x x 1 ) and Lu = δ(x x 2 ) into Green s formula: δ(x x 1 )G(x, x 2 )dx G(x, x 1 )δ(x x 2 )dx = 0 which simplifies to G(x 1, x 2 ) G(x 2, x 1 ) = 0. Also: can interchange arguments of partial derivatives, e.g. xg(x, x 0 ) = lim h 0 (G(x + h, x 0 ) G(x, x 0 ))/h = lim h 0 (G(x 0, x + h) G(x 0, x))/h = x0 G(x 0, x).

28 Symmetry (reciprocity) of the Green s function If L is self-adjoint, might expect that its inverse to also be: G(x, x 0 ) = G(x 0, x), Reciprocity" Proof: Insert v(x) = G(x, x 1 ), u(x) = G(x, x 2 ), Lv = δ(x x 1 ) and Lu = δ(x x 2 ) into Green s formula: δ(x x 1 )G(x, x 2 )dx G(x, x 1 )δ(x x 2 )dx = 0 which simplifies to G(x 1, x 2 ) G(x 2, x 1 ) = 0. Also: can interchange arguments of partial derivatives, e.g. xg(x, x 0 ) = lim h 0 (G(x + h, x 0 ) G(x, x 0 ))/h = lim h 0 (G(x 0, x + h) G(x 0, x))/h = x0 G(x 0, x). For example, representation formula u(x 0 ) = G(x, x 0 )f (x)dx + h(x) xg(x, x 0 ) ˆn(x) dx, can be rewritten by exchanging the notation for x and x 0 and using reciprocity, u(x) = G(x, x 0 )f (x 0 )dx 0 + h(x 0 ) x0 G(x, x 0 ) ˆn(x 0 ) dx 0.
