Take down the plane and normally away from it, with the solid at and the free surface at . A steady unidirectional falling film flow has velocity . The streamwise Navier-Stokes equation reduces to
where is the kinematic viscosity. The lower no-slip boundary condition and upper stress-free boundary condition are
Integrating gives the velocity profile
The volume flux per unit width is
If the upper surface is replaced by a stationary solid plane, the second boundary condition becomes . The resulting plane-channel profile and flux are
The free surface exerts no tangential shear stress, whereas the stationary upper wall enforces no slip and exerts a retarding shear. This additional drag accounts for the reduced flux.
Introduce the orthogonal coordinates
Then the constraint and objective become
The Lagrange multiplier equations for a stationary point are
If , then and , giving
If , then . The first two equations and the constraint imply
Converting back to gives the other four points. Therefore all stationary points are

The Poincare disc model is
This Riemannian metric has constant Gaussian curvature .
For and , the Möbius transformation
is an isometry of the disc, and every orientation-preserving disc isometry has this form. In particular, sends to zero and to a point of modulus
Rotations are also isometries, so it remains only to integrate the metric along a radial geodesic from to :
Thus the Hyperbolic distance in the Poincare disc is
A Laurent series about is an expansion
that converges to on an annulus .
The partial fraction decomposition is
For , expand both denominators by the geometric series:
This is actually a Taylor series at zero, since the apparent puncture at zero contains no singularity.
For , the term still expands in nonnegative powers, while the quadratic term must be expanded in negative powers:
Hence
A basis of a vector space is a family of vectors that is both linearly independent and a spanning set of .
Write the given finite basis as . First, any other basis must also be finite. Each is a finite linear combination of elements of , so the union of the finitely many elements of occurring in these expressions is finite. Since spans every , it spans . If some existed, then would lie in the span of , contradicting the linear independence of . Hence ; write .
It remains to prove the elementary Steinitz exchange lemma directly. If independent vectors lie in the span of , express in terms of the . Some coefficient is nonzero, so the corresponding can be solved for in terms of and the other ; replacing it by preserves the span. Inductively, after replacing of the by , the expression for must have a nonzero coefficient on one of the unreplaced , since otherwise would be a linear combination of . That can again be replaced. There are only original vectors to replace, so .
Apply this argument first to the independent family and the spanning family to obtain , and then with the two bases interchanged to obtain . Therefore
For an incompressible flow, . If the flow is also irrotational, then locally for a velocity potential, and therefore
The boundary conditions are
The fluid region is not simply connected, so a potential may change by the constant after one circuit while its gradient remains single-valued. Superposing uniform flow, the cylinder doublet, and the circulation gives the potential flow around a circular cylinder with circulation
Its velocity components are
On , and, with ,
The Bernoulli equation gives . The pressure force per unit length on the cylinder is
The component vanishes by symmetry, while gives
in agreement with the Kutta–Joukowski theorem.
A stagnation point satisfies . On the cylinder this means . Thus gives two surface stagnation points, gives one coincident surface point, and gives none on the surface. Away from the cylinder, requires . Solving then gives one physical exterior root when :
At this root lies on and agrees with the single surface point.
Use and Gauss's law . The divergence theorem and the decay at infinity give
Multiplying by proves that the two expressions for the electrostatic energy agree.
The uniform volume charge density in the thick shell is
Spherical symmetry and the integral form of Gauss's law give
Thus is zero inside, rises continuously through the charged region, reaches at , and then decays as . Taking and integrating gives
The electric potential is continuous, constant inside, decreases smoothly across the charge, and continues as outside.
As , the charge becomes a surface shell. Then
The potential remains continuous, but the normal electric field jumps by across the surface charge density.
The field-energy expression gives
The charge-potential expression gives the same result directly because the entire charge lies where the potential equals :
This is the electrostatic energy of a uniformly charged spherical shell.
Since is proportional to ,
to first order. This is the work required to bring the additional charge from infinity to the potential created by the charge already present.
The Time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the one-dimensional Quantum harmonic oscillator is
A stationary state has , so cancellation of the common time factor gives

If is monic of degree , the coefficient of in this equation is . It must vanish, so
Writing gives the recurrence
The coefficient of first gives , and the recurrence preserves parity. If is even, every odd coefficient vanishes, so is an even function. The Gaussian factor is also even; therefore the stationary state has even parity.
Since , the function on the left of the defining expansion is . Therefore

Jordan's lemma removes the semicircular arc. The only enclosed singularity is the double pole at , whose residue is
The residue theorem therefore gives
Its real part vanishes because is an odd function, while its imaginary part is the requested integral. Hence
