First we write a
vector field
as:
F
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
=
(
F
0
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
,
F
1
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
,
F
2
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
)
:
R
3
→
R

(64)
Note how we are denoting each component of
F
as
F
i
with a
raised index
.
Then, the
divergence
can be written in
Einstein notation
as:
∇
⋅
F
=
∂
x
0
∂
F
0
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
+
∂
x
1
∂
F
1
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
+
∂
x
2
∂
F
2
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
=
∂
i
F
i
(
x
0
,
x
1
,
x
2
)
=
∂
x
i
∂
F
i
(
x
0
,
x

,
x
2
)

It is common to just omit the variables of the function, so we tend to just say:
∇
⋅
F
=
∂
i
F
i
(66)
or equivalently when referring just to the
operator
:
∇
⋅
=
∂
i
