The homogeneous characteristic equation is $r^2-2r+2=0$, with roots $1\pm i$. Choose the endpoint-adapted homogeneous solutionsso that $u(0)=0$ and $v(\pi /2)=0$. Their Wronskian iswhich never vanishes. A continuous Green function with the required endpoints has the form $C(\xi )u(x_{<})v(x_{>})$, where $x_{<}=\min (x,\xi )$ and $x_{>}=\max (x,\xi )$. Its derivative jump is $C(\xi )W(\xi )$. Because the leading coefficient is one, part (b) requires this to equal one. ThereforeIn particular, the branches are $-e^{x-\xi }\sin x\cos \xi$ for $x\le \xi$ and $-e^{x-\xi }\sin \xi \cos x$ for $x\ge \xi$. This is the Dirichlet Green function for a conjugated harmonic oscillator with interval length $\pi /2$, drift parameter one and oscillator wave number one.
