Given a domain Ω in ℝ 3 with rectifiable boundary, we consider main integral, and some other, theorems for the theory of Laplacian (sometimes called solenoidal and irrotational, or harmonic) vector fields paying a special attention to the problem of decomposing a continuous vector field, with an additional condition, u on the boundary Γof Ω ⊂ ℝ 3 into a sum u = u + + u − were u ± are boundary values of vector fields which are Laplacian in Ω and its complement respectively. Our proofs are based on the intimate relations between Laplacian vector fields theory and quaternionic analysis for the Moisil–Theodorescu operator. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
