Line 33:
where <math>S_i</math> are boundary surfaces specified by boundary conditions.
 
Since <math>\varepsilon > 0</math> and <math>(\mathbf{\nabla}\varphi)^2 \ge 0</math>, then <math>\mathbf{\nabla}\varphi</math> must be zero everywhere (and so <math>\mathbf{\nabla}\varphi_1 = \mathbf{\nabla}\varphi_2</math>) when the surface integral vanishes. [The English here is very poor. Page in need of improvement for readability.]
 
This means that the gradient of the solution is unique when
