Hence, this theorem is used to convert volume integral into surface integral. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest. One might thus be led to conjecture that there is a limiting situation of some sort, a boundary with all convergent series on one side, all divergent series on the other sideat least as far as series with monotonic coefficients are concerned. In vector calculus, the divergence theorem, also known as gausss theorem or ostrogradskys theorem, is a result that relates the flux of a vector field through a closed surface to the divergence of the field in the volume enclosed more precisely, the divergence theorem states that the surface integral of a vector field over a closed surface, which is called the flux through the surface, is.

In addition to certain basic properties of convergent sequences, we also study divergent sequences and in particular, sequences that tend to positive or negative in. Nonexistence of boundary between convergent and divergent series. Usually, problems ask to proof that the integral of something from 0 to infinity is convergent using the comparsion theorem, but 1vx4 x is not defined for 0 the divergence theorem is an important result for the mathematics of physics and engineering, in particular in electrostatics and fluid dynamics.
We need to have the correct orientation on the boundary curve. Euler first came to the conclusion that the question must be posed, not what the sum is equal to, but how to define the sum of a divergent series, and he found an approach to the solution of this problem close to the modern one.
