If $\|x\| \ne 0$ then $\sum_j x_j^2 > 0$.
If $\|x\| \ne 0$ then $\|x\| > 0$.
The Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^3$ is continuous.
The map $y \mapsto \sum_j y_j^2$ has Fréchet derivative normSq_CLM x at $x$.
Evaluation of normSq_CLM x on the $i$-th coordinate basis vector gives
$2 x_i$.
Fréchet derivative of $\Phi_3$ on $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{0\}$, obtained by the chain rule $\Phi_3(y) = g(\|y\|^2)$.
$\frac{d}{ds} (\sqrt{s})^3 = \frac{3}{2} \sqrt{s}$ for $s > 0$.
Fréchet derivative of $y \mapsto (4 \pi \|y\|^3)^{-1}$ on $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{0\}$, used as a building block for partial derivatives of $\Phi_3$ itself.
The map $y \mapsto y_i / (4 \pi \|y\|^3)$ is differentiable at every $x \in \mathbb{R}^3$ with $\|x\| \ne 0$.
Derivative of the one-variable section $t \mapsto t / (4 \pi (\sqrt{t^2 + C})^3)$ at a point where $t^2 + C > 0$. This is the diagonal contribution to $\partial_i \partial_i \Phi_3$.
The fundamental solution $\Phi_3(x) = -1 / (4 \pi |x|)$ is harmonic on $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{0\}$: $\Delta \Phi_3(x) = 0$ for all $x$ with $\|x\| \ne 0$.
Definition 2.0.2 (Green function for a domain). Data of a Green
function for a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$: a corrector
$\phi(x, y)$ which matches the fundamental solution on the boundary, i.e.
$\phi(x, \sigma) = \Phi_3(x - \sigma)$ for $x \in \Omega$ and $\sigma \in \partial \Omega$.
Instances For
The Green function $G(x, y) = \Phi_3(x - y) - \phi(x, y)$ assembled from a fundamental solution and its corrector.
Instances For
Green's identity on the punctured domain $\Omega \setminus B_\varepsilon(x)$: the volume integral of $\Phi_3(x - y) \Delta u(y)$ equals a difference of boundary surface integrals minus a sphere integral around the singularity.
As $\varepsilon \to 0^+$, the volume integral $\int_{\Omega \setminus B_\varepsilon(x)} \Phi_3(x - y) \Delta u(y) \, dy$ converges to $\int_{\Omega} \Phi_3(x - y) \Delta u(y) \, dy$.
The sphere integral of $\Phi_3(x - \sigma) \cdot \nabla_{\hat N} u(\sigma)$ over $\partial B_\varepsilon(x)$ vanishes in the limit $\varepsilon \to 0^+$.
The sphere integral of $u(\sigma) \cdot \nabla_{\hat N} \Phi_3(x - \sigma)$ over $\partial B_\varepsilon(x)$ converges to $u(x)$ as $\varepsilon \to 0^+$. This is where the delta-function behaviour of $\Delta \Phi_3$ contributes.
Proposition 2.0.3 (Representation formula for $u$). For any $C^2$ function $u$ on an open domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and any $x \in \Omega$, $$u(x) = \int_{\Omega} \Phi_3(x - y) \Delta u(y) , dy
- \int_{\partial \Omega} \Phi_3(x - \sigma) \nabla_{\hat N} u(\sigma) , d\sigma
- \int_{\partial \Omega} u(\sigma) \nabla_{\hat N} \Phi_3(x - \sigma) , d\sigma.$$ Proved by taking $\varepsilon \to 0$ in Green's identity.
Proposition 2.0.2 (Green decomposition). Predicate asserting that $G(x, y) = \Phi(x - y) - \phi(x, y)$ where, for each $x \in \Omega$, the corrector $\phi(x, \cdot)$ is harmonic in $\Omega$ and equals $\Phi(x - \sigma)$ on $\partial \Omega$.
Instances For
Linearity of the Laplacian under subtraction: $\Delta(f - g) = \Delta f - \Delta g$, provided $f, g$ are differentiable on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and each partial $\partial_i f$, $\partial_i g$ is differentiable at $x$.
