The conventional decomposition of a vector field into longitudinal (potential) and transverse (vortex) components (Helmholtz's theorem) is claimed in [1] to be inapplicable to the time-dependent vector fields and, in particular, to the…
The Helmholtz decomposition splits a sufficiently smooth vector field into a gradient field and a divergence-free rotation field. Existing decomposition methods impose constraints on the behavior of vector fields at infinity and require…
The integral expressions served to decompose vector field into irrotational and divergence-free components represent modern version of the Helmholtz decomposition theorem. These expressions are also widely used to decompose the…
Helmholtz decomposition theorem for vector fields is presented usually with too strong restrictions on the fields. Based on the work of Blumenthal of 1905 it is shown that the decomposition of vector fields is not only possible for…
Helmholtz decomposition theorem for vector fields is usually presented with too strong restrictions on the fields and only for time independent fields. Blumenthal showed in 1905 that decomposition is possible for any asymptotically weakly…
The analysis of vector fields is crucial for the understanding of several physical phenomena, such as natural events (e.g., analysis of waves), diffusive processes, electric and electromagnetic fields. While previous work has been focused…
A unified account, from a pedagogical perspective, is given of the longitudinal and transverse projective delta functions proposed by Belinfante and of their relation to the Helmholtz theorem for the decomposition of a three-vector field…
Vector calculus in three dimensions with a Euclidian metric is the lingua franca of classical physics, including classical electrodynamics. This article corrects some long-standing imprecision in a fundamental result. Some textbooks assert…
An effective field theory framework is used to investigate some Lorentz-violating effects on the generation of electromagnetic and gravitational waves, complementing previous work on propagation. Specifically we find solutions to a…
Textbooks frequently use the Helmholtz theorem to derive expressions for the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields but they do not usually apply this theorem to derive expressions for the time-dependent electric and magnetic fields, even…
The time derivative of the charge density is linked to the current density by the continuity equation. However, it features only the longitudinal part of a current density, which is known to produce no radiation. This fact usually remains…
In this work we substantiate the applying of the Helmholtz vector decomposition theorem (H-theorem) to vector fields in classical electrodynamics. Using the H-theorem, within the framework of the two-parameter Lorentz-like gauge (so called…
The usual Helmholtz decomposition gives a decomposition of any vector valued function into a sum of gradient of a scalar function and rotation of a vector valued function under some mild condition. In this paper we show that the vector…
Classical vector waves can possess intricate spin angular momenta (SAM), which are \emph{perpendicular} to the propagation direction, as revealed by the recent recognition of surprisingly transverse SAM in electromagnetic (EM) fields. In…
In this paper, we investigate whether Variational Principles can be associated with the Helmholtz equation subject to impedance (absorbing) boundary conditions. This model has been extensively studied in the literature from both…
Electric-dipole radiation has the well-known far-field solutions of transverse electric and magnetic (TEM) fields with peak values propagating normal to (and going to zero along) the dipole axis. The calculation of these electromagnetic…
In this work, we obtain the Helmholtz decomposition for vector fields in Morrey, Zorko, and block spaces over bounded or exterior $C^{1}$ domains. Generally speaking, our proofs rely on a careful interplay of localization, flattening, and…
Using the notion of inclination of two subspaces $L$ and $M$ of Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we prove the theorem on the extension of linear continuous functionals defined on the subspace $L$ to $\mathcal{H}$ so that the extended…
Smooth vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$ can be decomposed into the sum of a gradient vector field and divergence-free (solenoidal) vector field under suitable hypotheses. This is called the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition (HHD), which has been…
We develop a Helmholtz-like theorem for differential forms in Euclidean space $E_{n}$ using a uniqueness theorem similar to the one for vector fields. We then apply it to Riemannian manifolds, $R_{n}$, which, by virtue of the…
