Green's Function--Poisson's Equation
Poisson's equation is
 |
(1)
|
where
is often called a potential function and
a density function, so the differential operator in this case is
. As usual, we are looking for a Green's function
such that
 |
(2)
|
But from Laplacian,
 |
(3)
|
so
 |
(4)
|
and the solution is
 |
(5)
|
Expanding
in the spherical harmonics
gives
 |
(6)
|
where
and
are greater than/less than symbols. this expression simplifies to
 |
(7)
|
where
are Legendre polynomials, and
. Equations (6) and (7) give the addition theorem for Legendre polynomials.
In cylindrical coordinates, the Green's function is much more complicated,
 |
(8)
|
where
and
are modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds (Arfken 1985).
