For on , the homogeneous solutions satisfy respectively the zero and infinity boundary conditions. Their Wronskian is . The displayed Green's function is continuous at and its first derivative has jump one, so in the distribution sense. Integration against a compactly supported forcing gives the unique solution decaying at both boundaries.
