Extract

Given a second-order, linear, partial differential equation, it is sometimes the case that an arbitrary non-negative solution on a strip or half-space ℝn × ]0, c[, where 0 < c ≤ ∞, can be represented by the integral of a kernel function with respect to a non-negative measure on ℝn. The solution is thus, at least theoretically, determined by the measure. This paper is concerned with the determination of the measure, given the solution.
