Green's Second Identity
If φ and ψ are both twice continuously differentiable on U in R3, and ε is once continuously differentiable, we can choose and obtain:
For the special case of all across U in R3 then:
In the equation above ∂φ / ∂n is the directional derivative of φ in the direction of the outward pointing normal n to the surface element dS:
