Abstract:
In the context of Lebesgue integration, we derive the divergence theorem for unbounded vector fields that can have singularities at every point of a compact set whose Minkowski content of codimension greater than two is finite. The resulting integration by parts theorem is applied to removable sets of holomorphic and harmonic functions.
