Abstract
In a recent paper Davis formulated a generalized Helmholtz theorem for a time-varying vector field in terms of the Lorenz gauge retarded potentials. The purposes of this comment are to point out that Davis's generalization of the theorem is a version of the extension of the Helmholtz theorem formulated some years ago by McQuistan and also by Jefimenko and more recently by the present author and to show that Davis's expression for the time-dependent vector field is also valid for potentials in gauges other than the Lorenz gaug
