I have a class of PDEs of the form $$ -\Box\phi(x)+\lambda\phi_0^2(x)\phi(x)=0 $$ with $\phi_0^2(x)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty b_ne^{ip_n\cdot x}$. I know some exact solutions for them (see here and here). Then, I consider their Green's functions, being these linear equations, and I want to solve $$ -\Box G(x)+\lambda\phi_0^2(x)G(x)=\delta^4(x). $$ Using linearity, I can apply a Fourier transform and I get $$ p^2\tilde G(p)+\lambda\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty b_n\tilde G(p_n-p)=1. $$ Is there any reasonable approach to get a solution out of this equation?

$\begingroup$ the only general approach (valid for any $\phi_0$) I can think of is a numerical solution; is that reasonable enough? $\endgroup$– Carlo BeenakkerCommented Feb 17, 2014 at 13:30

$\begingroup$ @CarloBeenakker: It could be having an analytical solution to compare with. Indeed, this seems the case. $\endgroup$– JonCommented Feb 17, 2014 at 14:49
