On Uniqueness Theorem of a Vector Function

Abstract: Abstract-Based on a generalized Helmholtz's identity, definitions of an irrotational vector and a solenoidal vector are reviewed, and new definitions are presented. It is pointed out that the well-known uniqueness theorem of a vector function is incomplete. Although the divergence and curl are specified, for problems with finite boundary surfaces, normal components are not sufficient for uniquely determining a vector function. A complete uniqueness theorem and its two corollaries are then presented. It is prov… Show more

“…Then we obtain the decomposition form of every simply connected domain based on Theorem 1. And then the superposition of decomposition forms is done to obtain (18). Finally, we separate the integral domain of surface integral in (18) into two parts: one part is outside surface S of whole domain V and the other part is the interface between sub-domains.…”

“…Consider volume V, surrounded by surface S, the uniqueness theorem [10][11][12] of the Maxwell equations states that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the time-harmonic EM field inside V to be uniquely specified within S. Only one of the following three conditions is needed for the theorem to hold true:…”
