Green's Identities - Green's Second Identity

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:

    He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
