Show affiliationsThe analytical properties of the lattice Green function
are investigated, where n is an integer and w is a complex variable. In particular, it is demonstrated that G(n, n, n; w) is a solution of a fourth-order linear differential equation of the Fuchsian type. From this differential equation it is found that G(n, n, n; w) can be evaluated in terms of a product of two Heun functions {Hj(n, v):j = 1, 2}, where
A detailed discussion of the properties of {Hj(n, v):j = 1, 2} is then given. The Heun function results are used to prove that the product form for G(n, n, n; w) can be expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds. It is also shown that G(n, n, n; w) can be written in the hypergeometric form
where
This formula is valid for varying values of w in the neighbourhood of w = ∞, provided that the argument function η+(w) does not take real values in the interval (1, + ∞). Finally, this 2F1 product form is used to determine the asymptotic behaviour of G(n, n, n; w) as n → ∞.
