Abstract
The linear superposition principle is one of the most elegant and effective methods to represent solutions of BVPs in terms of an auxiliary function known as Green’s function which was first introduced by George Green (George Green (1793–1841), English mathematician.) in 1828.

The Heaviside (unit) step function, \( H\left( {x - z} \right) \) is defined by
\( H\left( {x - z} \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} 0 & {z < x} \\ 1 & {z > x} \\ \end{array} } \right. \)
