Dirichlet Green function for a three-dimensional quarter-space
ID: dirichlet-green-function-for-a-three-dimensional-quarter-space
For , take the Dirichlet Green function convention . Reflect to . The displayed image sum vanishes on both faces, has exactly one positive unit source inside , and decays at infinity. Pairwise cancellation proves the boundary conditions, while the three image terms are harmonic inside . Its inward source-normal derivative gives the Poisson kernel of a three-dimensional quarter-space. The source sign must be kept consistent with Green's second identity.
