Abstract
In 2002, Bourgain and Brezis proved that for the space (on , with ) we have the equality of images \begin{equation} \operatorname{div} (L^{\infty}\cap X)=\operatorname{div} X, \tag{} \end{equation} i.e., given a vector field there exists a vector field such that \operatorname{div} u=\operatorname{div] v . In this paper we show that if is a function space satisfying () then, any real interpolation space (where and ) also satisfies (). The proof is based on a general method that allows us to interpolate solutions of linear equations.
