Since
v
was assumed to be continuous, the integrals over the interior edges cancel.
Moreover,
φ
vanishes on
∂
, and we are left with the integral over the domain
−
∂
i
φv dxdy.
By Definition 1.1,
w
i
is the weak derivative of
v
.
(2) Let
v
∈
H

()
. We do not establish the continuity of
v
by working
backwards through the formulas (although this would be possible), but instead
employ an approximation-theoretical argument. Consider
v
in the neighborhood
of an edge, and rotate the edge so that it lies on the
y
-axis. Suppose the edge
becomes the interval [

and

now investigate the auxiliary function
