Divergence of A Tensor Field
The divergence of a tensor field is defined using the recursive relation
where c is an arbitrary constant vector and v is a vector field. If is a tensor field of order n > 1 then the divergence of the field is a tensor of order n−1.

Famous quotes containing the word field:
“There is a call to life a little sterner,
And braver for the earner, learner, yearner.
Less criticism of the field and court
And more preoccupation with the sport.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
