Abstract

Some results for the Hodge decomposition theorem in Euclidean three-space

Highlights

  • Let Ω be a bounded subset of three-space R3 and let V(x, y, z) be a vector field on Ω

  • In applications it is often useful to be able to determine whether V(x, y, z) is the gradient of a function, or the curl of another vector field, or perhaps a divergence-free field. The answer to such questions is based on an understanding of the relationship between vector calculus and the topology of their domains of definition [1]

  • The Hodge Decomposition theorem addresses these questions by studying the space of vector fields as a decomposition into five mutually orthogonal subspaces that are topologically and analytically significant
