On the Gradient of Harmonic Functions
Published 2018-11-10Version 1
For a harmonic function u on Euclidean space, this note shows that |grad(u)| is essentially determined by the geometry of level hypersurfaces of u. Specifically, the factor by which |grad(u)| changes along a gradient flow is completely determined by the mean curvature of the level hypersurfaces intersecting the flow.
