Polar decomposition and continuity of the spherical flux #
Two ingredients of the flux-vanishing crux behind the mean value property:
- the polar bridge — a ball integral against Lebesgue measure written as an iterated radius/sphere integral, which is what turns the flux identity into an identity about a one-variable function of the radius;
- continuity of the spherical flux in the radius, needed before the fundamental theorem of calculus can be applied to it.
The general polar-coordinate bridge. For an integrable scalar function G on
EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin d) (d ≥ 1),
∫ z, G z = ∫ r in (0, ∞), r ^ (d - 1) • (∫ ω, G (r • ω) dσ(ω)),
the disintegration of Lebesgue measure into the surface measure sphereMeasure d on the unit sphere
and the radial density r ^ (d - 1) dr.
Continuity of the radial flux (at a point). For C¹ u, the average radial flux
r ↦ sphereFlux x r u is continuous at every r₀.
