Nonunique Green kernel at a singular endpoint with two vanishing modes

ID: nonunique-green-kernel-at-a-singular-endpoint-with-two-vanishing-modes

On , both independent homogeneous solutions vanish at the singular endpoint zero. Consequently imposing leaves the nonzero homogeneous solution and does not determine a unique inverse. One valid right Green function, with and zero endpoint values, is
Its first derivative has jump one because the Wronskian of and is . Every kernel preserves these properties when the integrals exist. For sources supported away from zero, integration yields one particular solution; the full endpoint-constrained family adds . An additional endpoint selection, such as , can choose a unique member. This is a singular-endpoint phenomenon, not an ordinary regular two-point uniqueness theorem.
