Special Case

This paper investigates the sampling analysis associated with discontinuous Sturm-Liouville problems with eigenvalue parameters in two boundary conditions and with transmission conditions at the point of discontinuity. We closely follow the analysis derived by Fulton (1977) to establish the needed relations for the derivations of the sampling theorems including the construction of Green's function as well as the eigenfunction expansion theorem. We derive sampling representations for transforms whose kernels are either solutions or Green's functions. In the special case, when our problem is continuous, the obtained results coincide with the corresponding results in the work of Annaby and Tharwat (2006).

AbstractLet G(x,s) be the Green's function for the boundary value problem y(n) = 0, Ty = 0, where Ty = 0 represents boundary conditions at two points. The signs of G(x,s) and certain of its partial derivatives with respect to x are determined for two classes of boundary value problems. The results are also carried over to analogous classes of boundary value problems for difference equations.

Kirchhoff Integral

The conventional Kirchhoff integral, based on the two‐way wave equation, states how the acoustic pressure at a point A inside a closed surface S can be calculated when the acoustic wave field is known on S. In its general form, the integrand consists of two terms: one term contains the gradient of a Green’s function and the acoustic pressure; the other term contains a Green’s function and the gradient of the acoustic pressure. The integrand can be simplified by choosing reflecting boundary conditions for the two‐way Green’s functions in such a way that either the first term or the second term vanishes on S. This conventional approach to deriving Rayleigh‐type integrals has practical value only for media with small contrasts, so that the two‐way Green’s functions do not contain significant multiple reflections. We present a modified approach for simplifying the integrand of the Kirchhoff integral by choosing absorbing boundary conditions for the one‐way Green’s functions. The resulting Rayleigh‐type integrals are the theoretical basis for true amplitude one‐way wave‐field extrapolation techniques in inhomogeneous media with significant contrasts.

This paper derives, for the first time, the complete set of three-dimensional Green’s functions (displacements, stresses, and derivatives of displacements and stresses with respect to the source point), or the generalized Mindlin solutions, in an anisotropic half-space z>0 with general boundary conditions on the flat surface z=0. Applying the Mindlin’s superposition method, the half-space Green’s function is obtained as a sum of the generalized Kelvin solution (Green’s function in an anisotropic infinite space) and a Mindlin’s complementary solution. While the generalized Kelvin solution is in an explicit form, the Mindlin’s complementary part is expressed in terms of a simple line-integral over [0,π]. By introducing a new matrix K, which is a suitable combination of the eigenmatrices A and B, Green’s functions corresponding to different boundary conditions are concisely expressed in a unified form, including the existing traction-free and rigid boundaries as special cases. The corresponding generalized Boussinesq solutions are investigated in details. In particular, it is proved that under the general boundary conditions studied in this paper, the generalized Boussinesq solution is still well-defined. A physical explanation for this solution is also offered in terms of the equivalent concept of the Green’s functions due to a point force and an infinitesimal dislocation loop. Finally, a new numerical example for the Green’s functions in an orthotropic half-space with different boundary conditions is presented to illustrate the effect of different boundary conditions, as well as material anisotropy, on the half-space Green’s functions.

Source Method

Green’s functions for acoustic problems is the fundamental solution to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation for a point source, which satisfies specific boundary conditions. It is very significant for the integral equation and also serves as the impulse response of an acoustic wave equation. They are important for acoustic problems that involve the propagation of sound from the source point to the observer position. Once the Green’s function, which satisfies the necessary boundary conditions, is obtained, the sound pressure at any point away from the source can be easily calculated by the integral equation. The major problem faced by researchers is in the process of constructing these Green’s functions which satisfy a specific boundary condition. The aim of this work is to review some of these fundamental solutions available in the literature for different boundary conditions for the ease of analyzing acoustics problems. The review covers the free-space Green’s functions for stationary source and rotational source, for both when the observer and the acoustic medium are at rest and when the medium is in uniform flow. The half-space Green’s functions are also summarized for both stationary acoustic source and moving acoustic source, derived using the image source method, equivalent source method and complex equivalent method in both time domain and frequency domain. Each of these methods used depends on the different impedance boundary conditions for which the Green’s function will satisfy. Finally, enclosed spaced Green’s functions for both rectangular duct and cylindrical duct for an infinite and finite duct is also covered in the review.

Chapter 09 Nonequilibrium Green’s functions (NEGF), including coupled-correlated (C) single- and multi-particle Green’s functions, are defined as averages weighted with the time-development operator U(t0+τ,t0). Linear conductivity is exhibited as a two-particle equilibrium Green’s function (Kubo-type formulation). Admitting particle sources (S:η,η+) and non-conservation of number, the non-equilibrium multi-particle Green’s functions are constructed with numbers of creation and annihilation operators that may differ, and they may be derived as variational derivatives with respect to sources η,η+ of a generating functional eW=TrU(t0+τ,t0)CS/TrU(t0+τ,t0)C. (In the non-interacting case this yields the n-particle Green’s function as a permanent/determinant of single-particle Green’s functions.) These variational relations yield a symmetric set of multi-particle Green’s function equations. Cumulants and the Linked Cluster Theorem are discussed and the Random Phase Approximation (RPA) is derived variationally. Schwinger’s variational differential formulation of perturbation theories for the Green’s function, self-energy, vertex operator, and also shielded potential perturbation theory, are reviewed. The Langreth Algebra arises from analytic continuation of integration of products of Green’s functions in imaginary time to the real-time axis with time-ordering along the integration contour in the complex time plane. An account of the Generalized Kadanoff-Baym Ansatz is presented.

Multiparticle thermodynamic Green’s functions, defined in terms of grand canonical ensemble averages of time-ordered products of creation and annihilation operators, are interpreted as tracing the amplitude for time-developing correlated interacting particle motions taking place in the background of a thermal ensemble. Under equilibrium conditions, time-translational invariance permits the one-particle thermal Green’s function to be represented in terms of a single frequency, leading to a Lehmann spectral representation whose frequency poles describe the energy spectrum. This Green’s function has finite values for both t>t′ and t<t′ (unlike retarded Green’s functions), and the two parts G1> and G1< (respectively) obey a simple proportionality relation that facilitates the introduction of a spectral weight function: It is also interpreted in terms of a periodicity/antiperiodicity property of a modified Green’s function in imaginary time capable of a Fourier series representation with imaginary (Matsubara) frequencies. The analytic continuation from imaginary time to real time is discussed, as are related commutator/anticommutator functions, also retarded/advanced Green’s functions, and the spectral weight sum rule is derived. Statistical thermodynamic information is shown to be embedded in physical features of the one- and two-particle thermodynamic Green’s functions.

Nonequilibrium Green's Functions

The method of the equation of motion is used to derive the Martin–Schwinger hierarchy for the nonequilibrium Green’s functions. The formal closure of the hierarchy is reached by using the selfenergy which provides a recipe for how to construct selfenergies from approximations of the two-particle Green’s function. The Langreth–Wilkins rules for a diagrammatic technique are shown to be equivalent to the weakening of initial correlations. The quantum transport equations are derived in the general form of Kadanoff and Baym equations. The information contained in the Green’s function is discussed. In equilibrium this leads to the Matsubara diagrammatic technique.
