For the Dirichlet Green's function, solve with zero endpoint values. Away from , is linear. Continuity at and the derivative jump giveFor nonzero Dirichlet boundary conditions, subtract their linear interpolant. The resulting boundary value problem has solutionIn the final heat equation, a steady state has zero time derivative. Here , , , . Integrating twice and imposing the endpoint values givesIts second derivative and both boundary conditions verify the answer directly.
