I'm reading a journal article at the moment which uses a piece of notation which they don't actually define. It looks like this:
[tex]\nabla_{\vec Q}[/tex]
(As it happens, [tex]\vec Q[/tex] is an ordinary vector indicating the orientation of a polymer.)
I've never seen vector subscript on the gradient symbol "[tex]\nabla[/tex]" before.
Could anyone please tell me what [tex]\nabla[/tex] with a vector subscript usually means?
