A note on flux integrals over smooth regular domains

Ido Bright and John M. Lee

Vol. 272 (2014), No. 2, 305–322
Abstract

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.
