Kuzmin reflection method

ID: kuzmin-reflection-method

Reflect a vacuum gravitational potential in the upper half-space evenly across . For the convention in which gravitational acceleration is , the derivative jump is . Thus a point mass below the plane produces a Kuzmin disk, and superposing point masses with weight produces . Positive weights give a nonnegative surface density wherever the integral converges.
