Abstract
A recurrence relation, which gives the values of the lattice Green's function along the diagonal direction from a couple of the elliptic integrals of the first and second kind, is derived for the square lattice by an elementary partial integration. The values of the square lattice Green's function at an arbitrary site are then calculated in a successive way with the aid of the difference equation defining the function. Discussions are given of the application of this result to the calculation of the lattice Green's function of the tetragonal and body-centered cubic lattices.
