In the Theory of Potential the term Green's Function, used in a slightly different sense by Maxwell, now denotes a function associated with a closed surface S, with the following properties:—

(i) In the interior of S, it satisfies ∇2V = 0.

(ii) At the boundary of S, it vanishes.

(iii) In the interior of S, it is finite and continuous, as also its first and second derivatives, except at the point (x1, y1,z1).
