Extract

In a recent paper, hereafter referred to as I (1) we derived two alternate forms for the fundamental solution of the axially symmetric wave equation. We demonstrated that for α > 0, the fundamental solution (the so-called free space Green's function) of the partial differential equation

could be written as

if b > r

or

if r > b.
