Helmholtz Green-function reciprocity by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-10-18
Two Green functions of the same Helmholtz equation with the same homogeneous Robin boundary condition satisfy the displayed reciprocity by Green's second identity. It is a bilinear identity without complex conjugation, so it concerns the transpose rather than the Hermitian adjoint. In an exterior problem both kernels use the same radiation convention.
