 Boundary-decaying Green kernel for an inverse-square differential operator

For $L=d^2/d{x}^2-2/x^2$ on $x>0$, the homogeneous solutions $x^2,x^{-1}$ satisfy respectively the zero and infinity boundary conditions. Their Wronskian is $-3$. The displayed Green's function is continuous at $x=\xi$ and its first derivative has jump one, so $L_{x}G=\delta (x-\xi )$ in the distribution sense. Integration against a compactly supported forcing gives the unique solution decaying at both boundaries.
