Couldn't you write the Green function as G(x,x') = sum_i f_i(x)f_i(x') */E_i where F(x) and E_i are eigenfunctions of the homogenous system (without the interaction term, V(x)=0). Then you can obtain the solution by solving the integral equation: F (x) = int_x' G(x,x') V(x') F(x') I'm not sure if it helps you, but thats what I would suggest...
