Helmholtz-Hodge decompositions in the nonlocal framework. Well-posedness analysis and applications

Understand

Nonlocal operators that have appeared in a variety of physical models satisfy identities and enjoy a range of properties similar to their classical counterparts.

• In this paper we obtain Helmholtz-Hodge type decompositions for two-point vector fields in three components that have zero nonlocal curls, zero nonlocal divergence, and a third component which is (nonlocally) curl-free and divergence-free.
• The results obtained incorporate different nonlocal boundary conditions, thus being applicable in a variety of settings.
