A fundamental solution of a linear التفاضلية الجزئية operator [latex]L[/latex] is a solution to the equation [latex]Lu = delta(x)[/latex], where [latex]delta(x)[/latex] is the Dirac delta function. It represents the response of the system to a point source or impulse. Once known, the solution to the inhomogeneous equation [latex]Lu = f(x)[/latex] can be found by convolution: [latex]u(x) = (G * f)(x)[/latex], where [latex]G[/latex] is the fundamental solution.
