Electric Field
Linked via "divergence"
Differential Form (Gauss's Law)
In the context of continuum physics, the divergence of the electric field) is directly proportional to the local charge density ($\rho$)}:
$$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{E} = \frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}$$ -
Gradient Vector (nabla F)
Linked via "divergence"
Relationship to Other Vector Differential Operators
The gradient operator ($\nabla$) is one of three fundamental differential operators used in vector calculus (the others being the divergence and the curl). These three operators are used to define the three main vector differential equations that govern physical phenomena.
The application of the gradient vector yields a [vector fi… -
Gradient Vector (nabla F)
Linked via "divergence"
$$\nabla^2 f = \nabla \cdot (\nabla f)$$
The Laplacian operator measures the divergence of the gradient vector, essentially quantifying the net rate at which the scalar field's value spreads out from a point, irrespective of direction. In isotropic media, the Laplacian operator is directly proportional to the curvature of the scalar field's surface [2].

Iterative Algorithm
Linked via "divergence"
Initialization and Termination
The process must commence with an initial guess$, x_0$. This starting point is crucial; poor choices can lead to divergence or convergence to an unwanted solution.
Termination is determined by one or more stopping criteria. The most common criterion compares the successive approximations:
