Examinations on a Three-Dimensional Differentiable Vector Field That Equals its Own Curl
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract Consider the differential equation curl for a 3dimensional differentiable vector field We prove that is analytic and then prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for the differential equation with a prescribed boundary data. We also outline with a few variations Professor J. Ericksen’s work on a unit vector field that equals its own curl. AMS Subject Classification 2000 15A72, 35A10, 35D10

Discrete Vector Potentials for Nonsimply Connected Three-Dimensional Domains
In this paper, we focus on the representation of a divergence-free vector field, defined, on a connected nonsimply connected domain Ω ⊂ R3 with a connected boundary Γ, by its curl and its normal component on the boundary. The considered problem is discretized with H(curl)and H(div)-conforming finite elements. In order to ensure the uniqueness of the vector potential, we propose a spanning tree ...
متن کاملNovel generalization of three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
A class of new nonabelian gauge theories for vector fields on three manifolds is presented. The theories describe a generalization of three-dimensional YangMills theory featuring a novel nonlinear gauge symmetry and field equations for Lie-algebra valued vector potential fields. The nonlinear form of the gauge symmetry and field equations relies on the vector cross-product and vector curl opera...
متن کاملAn efficient mollifier method for three-dimensional vector tomography: convergence analysis and implementation
Abstract We consider the problem of three-dimensional vector tomography, that means the reconstruction of vector fields and their curl from line integrals over certain components of the field. It is well known that only the solenoidal part of the field can be recovered from these data. In this paper the method of approximate inverse is modified for vector fields and applied to this problem, lea...
متن کاملElastic fields of stationary and moving dislocations in three dimensional finite samples
Integral expressions are determined for the elastic displacement and stress fields due to stationary or moving dislocation loops in three dimensional, not necessarily isotropic, finite samples. A line integral representation is found for the stress field, thus satisfying the expectation that stresses should depend on the location of the dislocation loop, but not on the location of surfaces boun...
متن کاملA Set of Axioms for the Degree of a Tangent Vector Field on Differentiable Manifolds
Given a tangent vector field on a finite-dimensional real smooth manifold, its degree also known as characteristic or rotation is, in some sense, an algebraic count of its zeros and gives useful information for its associated ordinary differential equation. When, in particular, the ambient manifold is an open subset U of R, a tangent vector field v on U can be identified with a map v : U → R, a...
