With and , radial differential rotation gives . Thus the source is . Put with . The toroidal diffusion operator is
Direct differentiation of makes the bracket . Therefore the steady radial equation is
Define and . Since ,
so . Taking proves the steady toroidal induction by spherical differential rotation:
Near zero, , hence and is regular. Its leading vector field is proportional to , so the apparent azimuthal-basis singularity on the axis is harmless. The rapid decay of makes finite, giving at large radius. The homogeneous radial solutions are and ; regularity at zero excludes the latter, and decay at infinity excludes the former. Thus these boundary requirements also single out the displayed solution in this angular sector.
