| May 6, 2013 at 17:13 | comment | added | Ori Gurel-Gurevich | Actually, I don't see how step 1 works in full generality. For example, if the domain $D$ is a "cone" with a vary pointy tip (not the regular quadratic surface, but one where the angle is 0), then a ring whose center is at the tip and is orthogonal to the cone's axis will not be connected to any ring whose center is inside the cone. However, it seems plausible that this method works for, say, any domain with a smooth boundary. | |
