GREENS THEOREM
DEFINITION & PROOF RELATION TO OTHER THEOREMS APPLICATIONS
Greens theorem is simply a relationship between the macroscopic circulation around the curve C and the sum of all the microscopic circulation that is inside C. If C is a closed curve in the plane, then it surrounds some region D in the plane. D is the interior of the curve C. Greens theorem says that if you add up all the microscopic circulation inside C, then that total is exactly the same as the macroscopic circulation around C
Adding up the microscopic circulation in D means taking the double integral of the microscopic circulation over D. Therefore, we can write Greens theorem as
AREA OF A REGION
Green's theorem can be used to compute area by line integral. The area of D is given by
Provided we choose L and M such that:
Then the area is given by:
Considering only two-dimensional vector fields, Green's theorem is equivalent to the following two-dimensional version of the divergence theorem:
When dealing with images, we can use the coordinates (x and y) or the pixel locations of the image in order to compute for the area of interest. We begin by applying these basic methods on the simple figures below:
We first make sure the images are in their binary form in order for the machine to easily interpret the values. The area to calculate should be set to white, and the background black. Then we count the number of these figures which precisely calculates the area of the figure.
This is followed by some godlike programming :P which ultimately in the end gives us sharp images that are less blur. Its used in finger prints enhancement and analysis.

Electromagnetic boundary-value problems supported by closed-form solutions provide a framework for efficient and optimized design methods. Closed-form Green's theorem models are used when a welldefined source is coupled to a well-defined space or structure. Here the Green's theorem is applied to describe the relationship between the current in a coaxial probe and the electromagnetic fields inside an overmoded coaxial airspace .

The Application of Green's Theorem to the Solution of Boundary-Value Problems in Linearized Supersonic Wing Theory
With a recent trend of the world wide growth of air transportation, development of a next generation supersonic transport (SST) is under consideration in the United States, Europe, and Japan. There have been a few supersonic transport so far, such as, the TU-144 developed by the Soviet Union and the Concorde by the joint of UK and France. But the TU144 ceased its regular operation some time before 1985 because of problems with the engines and wing design. Now these problems were raised as general methods of solution are given for the two and three dimensional steady-state and two-dimensional unsteady-state equations. In the absence of thickness effects, linear theory yields solutions consistent with the assumptions made when applied to lifting-surface problems for swept-back plan forms at sonic speeds. The solutions of the particular equations are determined in all cases by means of Green's theorem.
Anyhow these designs are still on paper and only in the form theories and abstract published by the Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan and National Aerospace Laboratory, Chofu, Tokyo 182, Japan
PLANIMETER
A planimeter is a measuring instrument used to determine the area of an arbitrary two-dimensional shape. The main types of mechanical planimeter are polar, linear and Prytz or "hatchet" planimeters. They consist of a linkage with a pointer on one end, used to trace around the boundary of the shape. The other end of the linkage is fixed for a polar planimeter and restricted to a line for a linear planimeter. Tracing around the perimeter of a surface induces a movement in another part of the instrument and a reading of this is used to establish the area of the shape. The planimeter contains a measuring wheel that rolls along the drawing as the operator traces the contour.
Polar planimeter
The area of the shape is proportional to the number of turns through which the measuring wheel rotates when the planimeter is traced along the complete perimeter of the shape.
Polar planimeter
Linear planimeter
For the linear planimeter the movement of the "elbow" E is restricted to the yaxis. For the polar planimeter the "elbow" is connected to an arm with fixed other endpoint O. Connected to the arm ME is the measuring wheel with its axis of rotation parallel to ME. A movement of the arm ME can be decomposed into a movement perpendicular to ME, causing the wheel to rotate, and a movement parallel to ME, causing the wheel to skid, with no contribution to its reading.
The operation of a linear planimeter can be justified by applying Greens Theorem onto the components of the vector field N, given by:
where b is the y-coordinate of the elbow E. This vector field is perpendicular to the measuring arm EM:
and has a constant size, equal to the length m of the measuring arm:
because:
