The homogeneous Cauchy-Euler equation has powers with . Boundedness at zero selects , and boundedness at infinity selects . Put for and for . Continuity gives . Since the operator is , the required delta-function normalization is . Thus , giving the bounded Green kernel for a radial Euler operator:In the requested notation, . The two expressions agree at .
