 Solution

The domain is the three-dimensional upper half-space. Reflect the source point to ${\mathbf{r}}^{\prime \ast }=(x^{\prime },y^{\prime },-z^{\prime })$. The method of images places an opposite source at this reflected point, giving the Dirichlet image kernel for the three-dimensional modified Helmholtz equationOn $z=0$, the two Euclidean distances are equal, so the terms cancel exactly. The image lies outside the domain, so its contribution satisfies the homogeneous modified Helmholtz equation everywhere inside; only the original source contributes a Dirac delta. Both terms decay at infinity, including for $k=0$, and the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition follows.
