Compact Cylindrical Green Function (CCGF)

Preface by Tohline

Cohl & Tohline (1999) present an expression for the Newtonian gravitational potential in terms of a Compact Cylindrical Green's Function expansion. Over a professional career that dates back to 1976, this has turned out to be one of my most oft-cited research publications and certainly has proven to be the publication with the most citations from research groups outside of the astrophysics community. Howard Cohl deserves full credit for the important discovery presented in this paper; I simply tagged along as his physics doctoral dissertation advisor and harshest skeptic.
