 Solution

Away from $x=\xi$, the Green function solves $G^{\prime \prime }-G=0$. The solution satisfying the left boundary condition is proportional to $\sinh x$, while the solution decaying at infinity is proportional to $e^{-x}$. Continuity at $\xi$ and the unit derivative jumpgiveor $G=-\sinh (\min \{x,\xi \})e^{-\max \{x,\xi \}}$, the dirichlet half-line Green function for d2 minus 1.

The required solution isEvaluation of the two elementary integrals, split at $\xi =x$, givesIndeed, direct differentiation gives $y^{\prime \prime }-y=e^{-2x}$, and both boundary conditions are immediate.
