For D=d/dx and La​=(D−a)2+b2 on (0,L), with b>0 and sin(bL)=0, the substitution y=eaxv gives La​y=eax(v′′+b2v). Here x<​=min(x,ξ) and x>​=max(x,ξ). The displayed Green function vanishes at the endpoints, is continuous at x=ξ, and its first derivative has jump one, so La,x​G=δ(x−ξ). It is the usual sine Dirichlet Green function conjugated by the exponential factor. At bL∈πZ∖{0} there is a homogeneous zero mode, so the inverse kernel does not exist without a solvability condition and a normalization.
