The Green Function

A theoretical framework is proposed for analyzing fish movement and modeling the associated dynamics using tagging data. When tagged fish are released in an area small compared with the domain of the fish population and over a period short compared with the time they take to disperse throughout their domain, the pattern of movement approximates a point-source solution of the underlying population dynamics. A method of point sources (Green functions) is invoked for representing the solution of the tagged and untagged fish field equations (partial differential equations) in terms of integral equations. As an approximate representation of a tagging experiment, the Green function is interpreted as the probability density of survival and movement from point to point in space–time. The Green functions are constructed empirically using one parameter, catchability, as the ratio of population density of tagged fish divided by the number of tagged fish released. The number of tagging experiments necessary to characterize the population is dictated by the dependence of catchability on space–time. The moments of the Green function are used to calculate model parameters and lead to the identification of a closed form expression for the transition probability densities of the model assumed.

The Green Function

AbstractWe develop an accurate approximation of the normalized hyperbolic operator sine family generated by a strongly positive operator A in a Banach space X which represents the solution operator for the elliptic boundary value problem. The solution of the corresponding inhomogeneous boundary value problem is found through the solution operator and the Green function. Starting with the Dunford — Cauchy representation for the normalized hyperbolic operator sine family and for the Green function, we then discretize the integrals involved by the exponentially convergent Sinc quadratures involving a short sum of resolvents of A. Our algorithm inherits a two-level parallelism with respect to both the computation of resolvents and the treatment of different values of the spatial variable x ∈ [0, 1].

The Green Function

Small amplitude electrostatic oscillations in a cold plasma with continuously varying density have been investigated. The problem is the same as that treated by Barston (1964) but instead of his normal-mode analysis we employ the Laplace transform approach to solve the corresponding initial-value problem. We construct the Green function of the differential equation of the problem to show that there are branch-point singularities on the real axis of the complex frequency-plane, which correspond to the singularities of the Barston eigenmodes and which, asymptotically, give rise to non-collective oscillations with position-dependent frequency and damping proportional to negative powers of time. In addition we find an infinity of new singularities (simple poles) of the analytic continuation of the Green function into the lower half of the complex frequency-plane whose position is independent of the spatial co-ordinate so that they represent collective, exponentially damped modes of plasma oscillations. Thus, although there may be no discrete spectrum, in a more general sense a dispersion relation does exist but must be interpreted in the same way as in the case of Landau damping of hot plasma oscillations.

Definition Of

The question of non-uniqueness in boundary integral equation formu­lations of exterior problems for the Helmholtz equation has recently been resolved with the use of additional radiating multipoles in the definition of the Green function. The present note shows how this modification may be included in a rigorous formalism and presents an explicit choice of co­efficients of the added terms that is optimal in the sense of minimizing the least-squares difference between the modified and exact Green functions.
