A Green function for the equilateral triangle

Using the image method, a diffusional Green function has been derived analytically for a triangle, when its three sides, all of equal length, have zero intensity. Because many image sites are involved, computational assistance is employed both to construct the Green function and to use it in solving practical problems. An alternative procedure based on eigenfunctions is also summarized.     

A fast multipole method for the evaluation of elastostatic fields in a half-space with zero normal stress

In this paper, we present a fast multipole method (FMM) for the half-space Green’s function in a homogeneous elastic half-space subject to zero normal stress, for which an explicit solution was given by Mindlin (Physics 7, 195–202 1936). The image structure of this Green’s function is unbounded, so that standard outgoing representations are not easily available. We introduce two such representations here, one involving an expansion in plane waves and one involving a modified multipole expansion. Both play a role in the FMM implementation.     

Green functions for the Dirac operator under local boundary conditions and applications

In this article, we define the Green function for the Dirac operator under two local boundary conditions: the condition associated with a chirality operator (also called the chiral bag boundary condition) and the MIT bag boundary condition. Then we give some applications of these constructions for each Green function. From the existence of the chiral Green function, we derive an inequality on a spin conformal invariant which, in some cases, solves the Yamabe problem on manifolds with boundary. Finally, using the MIT Green function, we give a simple proof of a positive mass theorem previously proved by Escobar.

Pointwise estimates and Lp convergence rates to diffusion waves for p-system with damping

By introducing a new approximate Green function, we obtain the pointwise estimates on the solutions of Euler equations with linear frictional damping, from which we can deduce the optimal convergence rates to the nonlinear diffusion waves. The pointwise estimates and convergence rates given in this paper are new.     

Quadratic algebras with Ext algebras generated in two degrees

Green and Marcos (2005) [2] call a graded k-algebra δ-Koszul if the corresponding Yoneda algebra is finitely generated and there exists a function δ:N→N such that is zero if j≠δ(i). For any integer m≥3 we exhibit a noncommutative quadratic δ-Koszul algebra for which the Yoneda algebra is generated in degrees (1,1) and (m,m+1). These examples answer a question of Green and Marcos. These algebras are not Koszul but m-Koszul (in the sense of Backelin).     

Regions of positivity for polyharmonic Green functions in arbitrary domains

The Green function for the biharmonic operator on bounded domains with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions is in general not of fixed sign. However, by extending an idea of Z. Nehari, we are able to identify regions of positivity for Green functions of polyharmonic operators. In particular, the biharmonic Green function is considered in all space dimensions. As a consequence we see that the negative part of any such Green function is somehow small compared with the singular positive part.

     

An elementary proof that the triharmonic Green function of an eccentric ellipse changes sign

The conjecture named after Boggio and Hadamard that a biharmonic Green function on convex domains is of fixed sign is known to be false. One might ask what happens for the triharmonic Green function on convex domains. On disks and balls it is known to be positive. We will show that also this Green function is not positive on some eccentric ellipse.     

On the oscillation property of Green’s function of a fourth-order discontinuous boundary-value problem

The paper deals with conditions under which the Green function of a multipoint boundary-value problem for fourth-order equations describing small strains of a rod fastened to a solid elastic basement and additionally fixed by “concentrated” elastic supports at separate points has the oscillation property. It is shown that the condition that the Green function is positive is necessary and sufficient for the Green function to have the oscillation property.     

Tensor Green Function for the System of Maxwell's Equations in a Layered Medium

A general method is considered for the construction of the tensor Green function for Maxwell's equations in a layered medium. An efficient algorithm for the evaluation of the tensor Green function is proposed. The properties of various components of the Green tensor are investigated.     

Non-singular Green’s functions for the unbounded Poisson equation in one,two and three dimensions

In this paper, we derive the non-singular Green’s functions for the unbounded Poisson equation in one, two and three dimensions using a spectral cut-off function approach to impose a minimum length scale in the homogeneous solution. The resulting non-singular Green’s functions are relevant to applications which are restricted to a minimum resolved length scale (e.g. a mesh size $h$) and thus cannot handle the singular Green’s function of the continuous Poisson equation. We furthermore derive the gradient vector of the non-singular Green’s function, as this is useful in applications where the Poisson equation represents potential functions of a vector field.

On the Green function in visco‐elastic media obeying a frequency power‐law

In this work, we present an explicit expression for the Green function in a visco‐elastic medium. We choose Szabo and Wu's frequency power law model to describe the visco‐elastic properties and derive a generalized visco‐elastic wave equation. We express the ideal Green function (without any viscous effect) in terms of the viscous Green function using an attenuation operator. By means of an approximation of the ideal Green function, we address the problem of reconstructing a small anomaly in a visco‐elastic medium from wavefield measurements.

Non-linearity of the pluricomplex Green function

We consider the pluricomplex Green function with multiple poles as introduced by Lelong. We give a partial solution to a question concerning the set where the multipole Green function coincides with the sum of the corresponding single pole Green functions.

     

Continuity Properties of Integral Kernels Associated with Schrödinger Operators on Manifolds

For Schr?dinger operators (including those with magnetic fields) with singular scalar potentials on manifolds of bounded geometry, we study continuity properties of some related integral kernels: the heat kernel, the Green function, and also kernels of some other functions of the operator. In particular, we show the joint continuity of the heat kernel and the continuity of the Green function outside the diagonal. The proof makes intensive use of the Lippmann–Schwinger equation.

Construction of Green functions for weighted biharmonic operators

A constructive proof is given of the existence of the weighted biharmonic Green function Γ_α for α?0. The method is used to derive the explicit formula for Γ₁ previously stated by Hedenmalm. In addition, a formula for Γ₂ is found, which is then shown to take both positive and negative values in the bidisk .

A shortwave source near a smooth,convex hypersurface and the spectral function of the Laplace operator on a Riemannian manifold

The Tauberian theorem of B. M. Levitan reduces the question of the asymptotics of the spectral function of the Laplace operator on a smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary to the problem of constructing the asymptotics of a Green function possessing certain additional properties. The paper is devoted to the construction of the appropriate Green function for the case of a geodesically concave boundary.
