Let L be the linear differential operator
Ly=y′′′−y′′−2y′
where ′ denotes differentiation with respect to x.
Find the Green's function, G(x;ξ), for L satisfying the homogeneous boundary conditions G(0;ξ)=0,G′(0;ξ)=0,G′′(0;ξ)=0.
Using the Green's function, solve
Ly=exΘ(x−1)
with boundary conditions y(0)=1,y′(0)=−1,y′′(0)=0. Here Θ(x) is the Heaviside step function having value 0 for x<0 and 1 for x>0.
