Abstract: In this paper we prove two approximation results for divergence free vector fields. The first is a form of an assertion of J. Bourgain and H. Brezis concerning the approximation of solenoidal charges in the strict topology: Given $Fin{M}_b(mathbb{R}^d;mathbb{R}^d)$ such that $operatorname\ast divF=0$ in the sense of distributions, there exist $C^1$ closed curves ${Gamm{a}_{i,l}}_{1,ldots,n_{l}imesmathbbN}$, with parameterization by arclength $gamm{a}_{i,l}in{C}^1([0,L_{i,l}];mathbb{R}^d)$, $lleq{L}_{i,l}leq2l$, for which [ F= lim_{l o infty} frac{|F|_{M_b(mathbb{R}^d;mathbb{R}^d)}}{n_l cdot l} sum_{i=1}^{n_l} dot{gamma}_{i,l} left.mathcal{H}^1 ightvert_{Gamma_{i,l}} ] weakly-star as measures and �egin{align*} lim_{l o infty} frac{1}{n_l cdot l} sum_{i=1}^{n_l} |Gamma_{i,l}| = 1. end{align*} The second, which is an almost immediate consequence of the first, is that smooth compactly supported functions are dense in [ left{ F in M_b(mathbb{R}^d;mathbb{R}^d): operatorname*{div}F=0 ight} ] with respect to the strict topology.
