1 Method of Green s Functions Linear Partial ifferential Equations Matthew J. Hancock Fall 006 We introduce another powerful method of solving PEs. First, we need to consider some preliminary definitions and ideas. Preliminary ideas and motivation. The delta function Ref: Guenther & Lee 0.5, Myint-U & ebnath 0. efinition [elta Function] The δ-function is defined by the following three properties, { δ (x) = 0,, x = 0, x = 0, δ (x)dx = f (x)δ (x a)dx = f (a) where f is continuous at x = a. The last is called the sifting property of the δ-function. To make proofs with the δ-function more rigorous, we consider a δ-sequence, that is, a sequence of functions that converge to the δ-function, at least in a pointwise sense. onsider the sequence δ n (x) = n (nx) π e Note that z δ n (x)dx = n (nx) e dx = e dz = erf ( ) = π π 0 0
2 efinition [ elta Function] The δ-function is defined by the following three properties, { 0, (x,y) = 0, δ (x,y) =, (x,y) = 0, δ (x,y) da =, f (x,y) δ (x a,y b)da = f (a,b).. Green s identities Ref: Guenther & Lee 8.3 Recall that we derived the identity (G F + F G)dA = is called Green s First Identity, G u + u G da = G ( u nˆ)ds () Interchanging G and u and subtracting gives Green s Second Identity, u G G u da = (u G G u) nˆds. (3) point used for integration. Let r be the distance from (x,y) to (ξ,η), r = (ξ x) + (η y). (GF) nˆds () for any scalar function G and vector valued function F. Setting F = u gives what Solution of Laplace and Poisson equation Ref: Guenther & Lee, 5.3, 8.3, Myint-U & ebnath onsider the BVP u = F in, (4) u = f on. Let (x,y) be a fixed arbitrary point in a domain and let (ξ,η) be a variable onsidering the Green s identities above motivates us to write G = δ (ξ x,η y) = δ (r) in, (5) G = 0 on.
3 The notation δ (r) is short for δ (ξ x,η y). Substituting (4) and (5) into Green s second identity (3) gives u (x,y) GFdA = f G nˆds Rearranging gives u (x,y) = GFdA + f G nˆds (6) Therefore, if we can find a G that satisfies (5), we can use (6) to find the solution u (x,y) of the BVP (4). The advantage is that finding the Green s function G depends only on the area and curve, not on F and f. Note: this method can be generalized to 3 domains.. Finding the Green s function To find the Green s function for a domain, we first find the simplest function that satisfies v = δ (r). Suppose that v (x,y) is axis-symmetric, that is, v = v (r). Then For r > 0, Integrating gives v = v rr + r v r = δ (r) v rr + v r = 0 r v = A ln r + B For simplicity, we set B = 0. To find A, we integrate over a disc of radius ε centered at (x,y), ε, = δ (r) da = From the ivergence Theorem, we have vda = v nds previous two equations gives v = v nds = r ds = ε ε ε ε vda where ε is the boundary of ε, i.e. a circle of circumference πε. ombining the ε ε r=ε ε A ds = πa ε Hence v (r) = ln r π 3
4 This is called the fundamental solution for the Green s function of the Laplacian on domains. For 3 domains, the fundamental solution for the Green s function of the Laplacian is /(4πr), where r = (x ξ) + (y η) + (z ζ). The Green s function for the Laplacian on domains is defined in terms of the corresponding fundamental solution, G (x,y;ξ,η) = ln r + h, π h is regular, h = 0, (ξ,η), G = 0 (ξ,η). The term regular means that h is twice continuously differentiable in (ξ,η) on. Finding the Green s function G is reduced to finding a function h on that satisfies h = 0 (ξ,η), h = π ln r (ξ,η). The definition of G in terms of h gives the BVP (5) for G. Thus, for regions, finding the Green s function for the Laplacian reduces to finding h.. Examples Ref: Myint-U & ebnath 0.6 (i) Full plane = R. There are no boundaries so h = 0 will do, and [ G = ln r = ln (ξ x) + (η y) ] π 4π (ii) Half plane = {(x,y) : y > 0}. We find G by introducing what is called an image point (x, y) corresponding to (x,y). Let r be the distance from (ξ,η) to (x,y) and r the distance from (ξ,η) to the image point (x, y), r = (ξ x) + (η y), r = (ξ x) + (η + y) We add h = ln r = ln (ξ x) + (η + y) π π to G to make G = 0 on the boundary. Since the image point (x, y) is NOT in, then h is regular for all points (ξ,η), and satisfies Laplace s equation, h h h = = 0 ξ + η 4

Writing things out fully, we have r (ξ x) + (η y) G = ln r + h = ln r ln r = ln = ln π π π π r 4π (ξ x) + (η + y) (7) ( ) G (x,y;ξ,η) is plotted in the upper half plane in Figure for (x,y) =,. Note that G as (ξ,η) (x,y). Also, notice that G < 0 everywhere and G = 0 on the boundary η = 0. These are, in fact, general properties of the Green s function. The Green s function G (x,y;ξ,η) acts like a weighting function for (x,y) and neighboring points in the plane. The solution u at (x,y) involves integrals of the weighting G (x,y;ξ,η) times the boundary condition f (ξ,η) and forcing function F (ξ,η). On the boundary, η = 0, so that G = 0 and G y G n = = η η=0 π (ξ x) + y The solution of the BVP (6) with F = 0 on the upper half plane can now be written as, from (6), y f (ξ) u (x,y) = f G nˆds = π (ξ x) + y dξ, which is the same as we found from the Fourier Transform, on page 3 of fourtran.pdf. 5
6 (iii) Upper right quarter plane = {(x,y) : x > 0,y > 0}. We use the image points (x, y), ( x,y) and ( x, y), G = ln (ξ x) + (η y) ln (ξ x) + (η + y) (8) π π ln (ξ + x) + (η y) + ln (ξ + x) + (η + y) π π For (ξ,η) = (the boundary), either ξ = 0 or η = 0, and in either case, G = 0. Thus G = 0 on the boundary of. Also, the second, third and fourth terms on the r.h.s. are regular for (ξ,η), and hence the Laplacian = / ξ + / η of each of these terms is zero. The Laplacian of the first term is δ (r). Hence G = δ (r). Thus (8) is the Green s function in the upper half plane. For (ξ,η) = (the boundary), 0 G G f G nˆds = f (0,η) dη + f (ξ, 0) ξ η dξ ξ=0 0 η=0 G G = f (0,η) ξ dη f (ξ, 0) η dξ 0 ξ=0 0 η=0 Note that G 4yxη = ( ) ( ξ ) ξ=0 π x + (y + η) x + (y η) G 4yxξ = ( ) ( ) π (x ξ) + y (x + ξ) + y η η=0 The solution of the BVP (6) with F = 0 on the upper right quarter plane and boundary condition u = f can now be written as, from (6), u (x,y) = f G nˆds 4yx ηf (0,η) = ( x + (y + η) ) ( x + (y η) )dη π 0 4yx ξf (ξ, 0) + dξ π 0 (x ξ) + y (x + ξ) + y (iv) Unit disc = {(x,y) : x + y }. By some simple geometry, for each point (x,y), choosing the image point (x,y ) along the same ray as (x,y) and a distance / x + y away from the origin guarantees that r/r is constant along the circumference of the circle, where r = (ξ x) + (η y), r = (ξ x ) + (η y ). 6
7 [RAW] Using the law of cosines, we obtain r = ρ + ρ ρρ cos θ θ r ρ = ρ + ρ cos θ θ ρ where ρ = x + y, ρ = ξ + η and θ, θ are the angles the rays (x,y) and (ξ,η) make with the horizontal. Note that for (ξ,η) on the circumference (ξ +η = ρ = ), we have r + ρ ρ cos θ θ = = ρ, ρ =. r + ρ ρ cos θ θ Thus the Green s function for the Laplacian on the disc is ρ r + ρ ρρ cos θ θ G (ξ,η;x,y) = ln ln π r = ρ 4π ρ ρ + ρρ cos θ θ Note that G nˆ = G ρ = ρ ρ = π + ρ ρ cos θ θ Thus, the solution to the BVP (5) on the unit circle is (in polar coordinates), π ρ ( u (ρ,θ) = f θ ) d θ π 0 + ρ ρ cos θ θ π ρ + ρ ρρ cos θ θ ( + ln F ρ, θ ) ρd ρdθ 4π 0 0 ρ ρ + ρρ cos θ θ The solution to Laplace s equation is found be setting F = 0, π ρ u (ρ,θ) = f θ dθ π 0 + ρ ρ cos θ θ This is called the Poisson integral formula for the unit disk..3 onformal mapping and the Green s function onformal mapping allows us to extend the number of regions for which Green s functions of the Laplacian u can be found. We use complex notation, and let α = x + iy be a fixed point in and let z = ξ + iη be a variable point in (what we re integrating over). If is simply connected (a definition from complex analysis), 7
8 then by the Riemann Mapping Theorem, there is a conformal map w (z) (analytic and one-to-one) from into the unit disk, which maps α to the origin, w (α) = 0 and the boundary of to the unit circle, w (z) = for z and 0 w (z) < for z /. The Greens function G is then given by G = ln w (z) π To see this, we need a few results from complex analysis. First, note that for z, w (z) = 0 so that G = 0. Also, since w (z) is -, w (z) > 0 for z = α. Thus, we can write w (z) = (z α) n H (z) where H (z) is analytic and nonzero in. Since w (z) is -, w (z) > 0 on. Thus n =. Hence and where w (z) = (z α) H (z) G = ln r + h π r = z α = (ξ x) + (η y) h = ln H (z) π Since H (z) is analytic and nonzero in, then (/π) ln H (z) is analytic in and hence its real part is harmonic, i.e. h = R ((/π) lnh (z)) satisfies h = 0 in. Thus by our definition above, G is the Green s function of the Laplacian on. Example. The half plane = {(x,y) : y > 0}. The analytic function w (z) = z α z α maps the upper half plane onto the unit disc, where asterisks denote the complex conjugate. Note that w (α) = 0 and along the boundary of, z = x, which is equidistant from α and α, so that w (z) =. Points in the upper half plane (y > 0) are closer to α = x + iy, also in the upper half plane, than to α = x iy, in the lower half plane. Thus for z /, w (z) = z α / z α <. The Green s function is z α r G = ln w (z) = ln = ln π π z α π r which is the same as we derived before, Eq. (7). 8
9 3 Solution to other equations by Green s function Ref: Myint-U & ebnath 0.5 The method of Green s functions can be used to solve other equations, in and 3. For instance, for a region, the problem u + u = F in, u = f on, has the fundamental solution Y 0 (r) 4 where Y 0 (r) is the Bessel function of order zero of the second kind. The problem u u = F in, u = f on, has fundamental solution π K 0 (r) where K 0 (r) is the modified Bessel function of order zero of the second kind. The Green s function method can also be used to solve time-dependent problems, such as the Wave Equation and the Heat Equation. 9
