Abstract
In this article, we study the Green function of the operator (⊕+m
2)
k
which is iterated k-times and is defined by
where
m is a positive real number and
p+
q=
n is the dimension of the
n-dimensional Euclidean space ℝ
n
,
x=(
x
1,
x
2, …,
x
n
)∈ℝ
n
and
k is a nonnegative integer. At first, we study the elementary solution or Green function of the operator (⊕+
m
2)
k
. Moreover, the operator (⊕+
m
2)
k
can be related to the ultra-hyperbolic Klein–Gordon operator (□+
m
2)
k
, the Helmholtz operator (▵+
m
2)
k
and the diamond operator of the form (♦+
m
2)
k
, and also we obtain the elementary solutions of such operators. We also apply such a Green function to obtain the solution of the equation (⊕+
m
2)
k
U(
x)=
f(
x), where
f is a generalized function and
U(
x) is an unknown function for
x∈ℝ
n
.
