Green's function for Poisson's equation and the EEG equation with Neumann boundary condition on $n$-balls

Abstract

We provide an elementary derivation of the Green's function for Poisson's equation with Neumann boundary data on balls of arbitrary dimension, which was recently found in [Sadybekov et al., Eurasian Math. J. 7(2):100-105, 2016]. The underlying idea consists of first computing the Green's function for the electroencephalography (EEG) equation (Poisson's equation with dipole right-hand side) and then deriving the Green's function for Poisson's equation from that.
