Origin-regular spherical Poisson flux law

ID: origin-regular-spherical-poisson-flux-law

For a spherically symmetric gradient field regular at the origin and satisfying Poisson equation, the divergence theorem on a ball determines its radial magnitude from the enclosed source integral. It depends only on the source at smaller radii. Regularity excludes the source-free but origin-singular addition ; without that condition, solving the local equation on a punctured domain leaves this extra term undetermined.
