Gradient pairing with a boundary-constant function and a harmonic function
ID: gradient-pairing-with-a-boundary-constant-function-and-a-harmonic-function
If is constant on the boundary and is a regular harmonic function throughout a volume, the divergence theorem applied to gives . The constant boundary value factors out; a second application of the divergence theorem makes the remaining flux . This requires enough regularity to use Green's first identity over the entire volume.
