One sufficient version of the divergence theorem is the following. Let be a bounded region in with a closed, piecewise smooth surface as its boundary, and let be a continuously differentiable function with values in on an open neighbourhood of the closure of . With the outward unit normal vector,
The boundary surface integral is the total outward flux integral. If the boundary has several components, each has the outward orientation relative to the material of ; inner components therefore point into the holes. Edges and isolated vertices may be omitted when assigning the unit normal vector, since they have zero surface area.
