Fourier decomposition of functions that have blowups at the origin

I had a question about the following. Consider the function $\frac{i}{4}H_{0}^{(1)}(\tilde{k}\rho)$ where $H_{n}^{(1)}$ is the Hankel function of the first kind of order $n.$ For context, it is a ...

Non-vanishing bondary terms of the inhomogenous wave equation

I'm trying to follow a derivation of the solution to the inhomogeneous wave equation $$ \bigg[ \nabla^2 - \frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2} \bigg] \psi(\vec{r},t) = - f(\vec{r},t), $$ ...

Integrate $\frac{ e^{i k | \mathbf{r} - \mathbf{r'} |} }{|\mathbf{r} - \mathbf{r'} |}$ in a spherical shell

How can we compute the following triple integral (electromagnetic diffusion in a sphericall shell)? $ E(\mathbf{r}) = \int_0^{2 \pi} d\phi' \int_0^{\pi} \sin \theta' d\theta' \int_R^{R+h} d r' r'^2 \...

Is $0$ the null space of the integral operator with kernel $G(r,r') = \frac{\exp(-ik|r-r'|)} {|r-r'|}$?

Let $G(r,r') = \frac{\exp(-ik|r-r'|)} {|r-r'|} $, where $r$ and $r'$ are position vectors in a domain $D$ of $\mathbb R^3$ and $k$ is a positive real constant. Suppose that $h$ is a continuous real ...

Integral over Green's function of wave equation

the following paper says if $f(\vec{x})=f(x)$ does only depend on $x$ then we have $\int d^3x' \frac{e^{\pm ik_{\phi}|\vec{x}-\vec{x}'|}}{|\vec{x}-\vec{x}'|} f(\vec{x}')= \frac{2\pi i}{k_{\phi}} e^{ ...

$u = 0$ is the only solution to the homogeneous Helmholtz equation $\Delta u + k^2 u = 0$?

We have that the solution to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation $$\Delta u + k^2 u = f$$ can be represented by $$u(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^3}G(x - y) f(y) dy$$ where $G$ is the fundamental ...
