The Average Divergence
The average divergence in a region is obtained by computing the total
divergence in the region and then dividing by the area of the region. In
formulas, the average divergence in an area D is:
Question #3
- Use Maple to help you complete the
chart you were given by computing the average divergence
in a series of decreasing disks centered about the stable
equilibrium. (A GIF version of the
chart is also available.)
- What is the limit of the average divergence over disks as the
radius of the disks shrink to zero? What is the meaning of this limit?
