Vector operator information


A vector operator is a differential operator used in vector calculus. Vector operators include the gradient, divergence, and curl:

  • Gradient is a vector operator that operates on a scalar field, producing a vector field.
  • Divergence is a vector operator that operates on a vector field, producing a scalar field.
  • Curl is a vector operator that operates on a vector field, producing a vector field.

Defined in terms of del:

The Laplacian operates on a scalar field, producing a scalar field:

Vector operators must always come right before the scalar field or vector field on which they operate, in order to produce a result. E.g.

yields the gradient of f, but

is just another vector operator, which is not operating on anything.

A vector operator can operate on another vector operator, to produce a compound vector operator, as seen above in the case of the Laplacian.
