Kelvin WedgeWhat does $x^{\prime}$ mean in a Green’s function? — a linear algebra and operator view

In a Green's function \(G(x,x')\), the primed variable \(x'\) marks the source point — the location of a unit impulse — while \(x\) is the field point where the…

人应该怎样度过一生 一

浓雾氤氲的森林,分不清是清晨还是黄昏,天边应该是有丝丝破碎的晨曦亦或是夕阳,还未走进你眼眸,便融化进了昏霭,染成一片模糊的光晕。你的思绪也仿若虚无之地,白茫茫一片,犹豫,抬起脚,犹豫,犹豫,犹豫,向前?向后?是追忆还是邂逅迷茫?

Kelvin WedgeFrom the Spectral Dirichlet-Neumann Symbol to the Physical-Space Operator Identity

We show how the spectral relation \(\partial_z \widehat{\varphi}(k, 0)=k \tanh (k h) \widehat{\varphi}(k, 0)\) implies the physical-space operator identity \(\varphi_z(\cdot, \cdot, 0)=(|D| \tanh (h|D|)) \varphi(\cdot, \cdot, 0)\), by inverse Fourier transform and the…

Kelvin WedgeHankel Diagonalization of the Radial Bessel Operator

The math is sound. The method is not. We show that the order- \(n\) Hankel transform in \(r\) diagonalizes the Bessel-type radial operator \(\mathscr{L}_n\), mapping the…

Kelvin WedgeFourier Coefficients of Quadratic Forms in $\cos \gamma$ for Steady Capillary-Gravity Waves

The math is sound. The method is not. We factor the quadratic denominator \(a+b \cos \gamma+c \cos ^2 \gamma\) and reduce the computation of its Fourier coefficients to those of…
