Is it always possible to do that decomposition? I'm asking it because Helmholtz theorem says a field on R3 that vanishes at infinity (r→∞) can be decomposed univocally into a gradient and a curl. But I also know, for example, that a constant field E on R3 is a gradient (not univocally definied): E(x+y+z+constant). And the electric field is −∇G+dA/dt, where A can be (Coulomb Gauge) free-divergence.
So, is it always possible to do the decomposition of a (regular, of course) field on R3 into two fields, free-curl and free-divergence? And on a limited domain?
