Green's Identities





FIRST GREEN IDENTITY

This identity derives from Divergence Theorem applied to the vector field \mathbf{F}=
abla \phi : If φ is twice Continuously Differentiable , and ψ is once continuously differentiable, on some region ''U'', then:

: \int_U \left( \psi
abla^2 \phi ight)\, dV = \oint_{\partial U} \left( \psi{\partial \phi \over \partial n} ight)\, dS - \int_U \left(
abla \phi \cdot
abla \psi ight)\, dV


SECOND GREEN IDENTITY

If φ and ψ are both twice continuously differentiable on ''U'', then:

: \int_U \left( \psi
abla^2 \phi - \phi
abla^2 \psi ight)\, dV = \oint_{\partial U} \left( \psi {\partial \phi \over \partial n} - \phi {\partial \psi \over \partial n} ight)\, dS
