We provide new bounds on a flux integral over the portion of the boundary of one
regular domain contained inside a second regular domain, based on properties of
the second domain rather than the first one. This bound is amenable to
numerical computation of a flux through the boundary of a domain, for example,
when there is a large variation in the normal vector near a point. We present
applications of this result to occupational measures and two-dimensional differential
equations, including a new proof that all minimal invariant sets in the plane are
trivial.
