Green's identities are two important equations in vector calculus that relate the behavior of functions and their gradients over a region in space. They are particularly useful in physics and engineering for problems involving potential theory, fluid dynamics, and electrostatics. Green's identities can be viewed as forms of the divergence theorem and integration by parts.

Green's identities relate volume integrals involving gradients and Laplacians to boundary values and normal derivatives. They follow from the divergence theorem and include Green's first identity, Green second identity and Green's third identity.
