RMdivfree: Divfree Covariance Model

Description

RMdivfree is a multivariate covariance model which depends on a univariate stationary covariance model where the covariance function phi(h) is twice differentiable. The corresponding matrix-valued covariance function C of the model only depends on the difference $h$ between two points and it is given by $$C(h)=( - \Delta E + \nabla \nabla^T ) C_0(h)$$

Usage

RMdivfree(phi, var, scale, Aniso, proj)

Arguments

phi

a univariate stationary covariance model (in 2 or 3 dimensions).

var,scale,Aniso,proj

optional parameters; same meaning for any RMmodel. If not passed, the above covariance function remains unmodified.

Value

• RMdivfree returns an object of class RMmodel

Details

The model returns the potential field in the first component, the corresponding divfree field and the field of curl strength in the last component.

See also the models RMcurlfree and RMvector.
