Fourier transformation gives
For , close the inverse-transform contour in the upper half-plane and take the residue at ; for , close it in the lower half-plane. This gives the one-dimensional modified Helmholtz Green function
The same formula works for complex with : it decays at both ends, is continuous at zero, and its derivative has the jump required by the delta source.
Convolution therefore yields
