Radial vector potential of a solenoidal vector field

ID: radial-vector-potential-of-a-solenoidal-vector-field

Let be a continuously differentiable solenoidal vector field on an open star-shaped set containing the origin. Then
is a vector potential for . For , differentiation gives and . Boundedness near the origin removes the lower endpoint. A field defined only on a punctured domain need not satisfy these hypotheses.
