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:

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or identity:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland.

—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
