A closed-form multidimensional free-space Green's function by the path-integral method
Abstract
The path-integral method is used to solve a scalar Helmholtz equation in an inhomogeneous region in the special case of a source in free space to derive a closed-form multidimensional Green's function. Analytical solutions are developed for the Green's function for inhomogeneous scattering configurations such as a source in the presence of a perfect conducting wedge. The path integral is shown to be of value in electromagnetic operations because it is a solution for fields in an inhomogeneous medium.
