Homework Statement
I am looking for some quick methods to integrate while leaving each step in its vector form without drilling down into component-wise integration, and I am wondering whether it is possible here.
Suppose I have a square domain over which I am integrating two functions w and v. Using integration by parts, what steps can I use to ensure that I end up with a symmetric blinear form + boundary terms?
Homework Equations
##\exists## a region ##\Omega## enclosed by ##\Gamma## and on ##\Omega## $$\int_\Omega{Tv\nabla^2 w d\Omega}=\int_\Omega{v p(x,y) d\Omega}$$
The Attempt at a Solution
Using integration by parts, whereby I feel as if I am completely guessing here:
$$T\left[v\nabla w\right]_\Gamma-T\int_\Omega{\nabla v \cdot \nabla w dV} = \int_\Omega{v p(x,y) d\Omega}$$
Is this the correct symmetric bilinear form that I am looking for? How would that simplified boundary term expression be evaluated explicitly?
