Shadowing, Expansiveness and Stability of Divergence-free Vector Fields
Let X be a divergence-free vector field defined on a closed, connected Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we show the equivalence between the following conditions: • X is a divergence-free vector field satisfying the shadowing property. • X is a divergence-free vector field satisfying the Lipschitz shadowing property. • X is an expansive divergence-free vector field. • X has no singularities a...
متن کاملTrivariate Spline Approximation of Divergence-free Vector Fields
We discuss the approximation properties of divergence-free vector fields by using trivariate spline vectors which are also divergence-free. We pay special attention to the approximation constants and show that they depend only on the smallest solid angle in the underlying tetrahedral partition and the nature of the boundary of the domain. The estimates are given in the max-norm and L norm. §
متن کاملSelf-dual two-forms and divergence-free vector fields
Beginning with the self-dual two-forms approach to the Einstein equations, we show how, by choosing basis spinors which are proportional to solutions of the Dirac equation, we may rewrite the vacuum Einstein equations in terms of a set of divergence-free vector fields, which obey a particular set of chiral equations. Upon imposing the Jacobi identity upon these vector fields, we reproduce a pre...
متن کاملComputational Discrete Morse Theory for Divergence-Free 2D Vector Fields
We present a simple approach to the topological analysis of divergencefree 2D vector fields using discrete Morse theory. We make use of the fact that the point-wise perpendicular vector field can be interpreted as the gradient of the stream function. The topology of the divergence-free vector field is thereby encoded in the topology of a gradient vector field. We can therefore apply a formulati...
متن کاملThe Divergence Theorem for Unbounded Vector Fields
In the context of Lebesgue integration, we derive the divergence theorem for unbounded vector fields that can have singularities at every point of a compact set whose Minkowski content of codimension greater than two is finite. The resulting integration by parts theorem is applied to removable sets of holomorphic and harmonic functions. In the context of Lebesgue integration, powerful divergenc...
