Vector Laplacian Identity
The Laplacian of a vector field in
-dimensional flat space can be computed via the formula
. This formula is well known in three dimensions:
| In[1]:= |
| Out[1]= |
The following creates a table that automates the verification of the identity in different dimensions and coordinate systems:
| In[2]:= |
| In[3]:= |
| In[6]:= |
| Out[6]= | Play Animation ▪![]() |
