The solution of above inhomogeneous heat equation can be written as follows:

Here, eta is an inhomogeneous term and the following is the heat kernel (Green function involved in convolution).

That is, a noise input at (x1,t1) propagates to (x,t) via the Gaussian propagator of diffusion. 

The eta which acts at time t1 on x1 will propagate and affect to height at position x at time t, and this is formulated as above with the Gaussian propagator.

Eq. (2.109) is more easily solved by using Fourier transform, because the Fourier transforms of Gaussian and white noise are Gaussian and constant, respectively.
