Inverting the discrete curl operator: a novel graph algorithm to find a vector potential of a given vector field

We provide a novel framework to compute a discrete vector potential of a given discrete vector field on arbitrary polyhedral meshes. The framework exploits the concept of acyclic matching, a combinatorial tool at the core of discrete Morse theory. We introduce the new concept of complete acyclic mat...
