  2. Green's identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_identities

    In mathematics, Green's identities are a set of three identities in vector calculus relating the bulk with the boundary of a region on which differential operators act. They are named after the mathematician George Green , who discovered Green's theorem .

  3. Green's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_function

    The primary use of Green's functions in mathematics is to solve non-homogeneous boundary value problems. In modern theoretical physics , Green's functions are also usually used as propagators in Feynman diagrams ; the term Green's function is often further used for any correlation function .

  4. Green's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_theorem

    In vector calculus, Green's theorem relates a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double integral over the plane region D (surface in ) bounded by C. It is the two-dimensional special case of Stokes' theorem (surface in R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} ).

  5. Method of images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_images

    This method is a specific application of Green's functions. [citation needed] The method of images works well when the boundary is a flat surface and the distribution has a geometric center. This allows for simple mirror-like reflection of the distribution to satisfy a variety of boundary conditions.

  6. Green formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_formula

    In mathematics, Green formula may refer to: Green's theorem in integral calculus; Green's identities in vector calculus; Green's function in differential equations;

  7. Vector calculus identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus_identities

    In Cartesian coordinates, the divergence of a continuously differentiable vector field = + + is the scalar-valued function: ⁡ = = (, , ) (, , ) = + +.. As the name implies, the divergence is a (local) measure of the degree to which vectors in the field diverge.

  8. Integration by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_parts

    Indeed, the functions x(y) and y(x) are inverses, and the integral ∫ x dy may be calculated as above from knowing the integral ∫ y dx. In particular, this explains use of integration by parts to integrate logarithm and inverse trigonometric functions .

  9. Green's function (many-body theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_function_(many-body...

    In many-body theory, the term Green's function (or Green function) is sometimes used interchangeably with correlation function, but refers specifically to correlators of field operators or creation and annihilation operators. The name comes from the Green's functions used to solve inhomogeneous differential equations, to which they are loosely ...
