For an analytic complex potential whose singularities lie outside , the circle theorem adds the reflected potentialThe added term is analytic outside the circle wherever the reflected original is regular; in particular no new exterior singularities occur when is regular inside the circle. On , the relation makes real. Thus its imaginary part, the stream function, is constant on the circle and the normal velocity vanishes. This proves the theorem, with any harmless additive constant left free. Its usual decay condition at infinity selects the surrounding flow inherited from .
