• Equations (5),(7) and (8) form a 3rd order system. It is guaranteed invertible to yield the boundary conditions for each
Bi, given measurements of B at bottom boundary, provided the
parameters, 1 ,2 and 3 are distinct.

Above equations provide the boundary conditions (normal components only at z=0) for each LFFF Bi, given B at certain heights, which then can be solved by an LFFF solver based on FFT (e.g, Alissandrakis, 1981).
• One parameter, 2 has to be set to 0. The parameters, 1 and 3, are determined by optimizing the agreement between calculated (b) and measured transverse magnetic field at z=0, by minimizing

• Reduced approach: choose B2=cB’, proportional to a reference field, B’=A’, and B’n=Bn, such that the relative helicity is ABdV-A’B’dV, with A=B1/1+B3/3+cA’.
B’=0, Bz’=Bz, at z=0
Only one layer of vector magnetogram is needed. And the relative helicity of a solar active region can be calculated.(As a special case, B2=0, in Hu and Dasgupta, 2006)

Principle of Minimum Entropy Production “The steady state of an irreversible process, i.e., the
state in which thermodynamics variables are independent of time, is characterized by a minimum value of the rate of Entropy Production”
Rate of Minimum Entropy Production is equivalent to Rate of Minimum Dissipation of Energy in most cases.

GS Reconstruction Technique1. Find z by the requirement
that Pt(A) be single-valued
2. Transform time to spatial dimensions via VHT, and calculate A(x,0),
3. Calculate Pt(x,0) directly from measurements.
4. Fit Pt(x,0)/Bz(x,0) vs. A(x,0)
by a function, Pt(A)/Bz(A).
A boundary, A=Ab, is chosen. 5. Computing A(x,y) by
utilizing A(x,0), Bx(x,0), and GS equation.

• Features of the GS Reconstruction Technique:
-Fully 2 ½ D solution (less fitting)
-Self-consistent theoretical modeling; boundary definition (less subjective)
-Utilization of simultaneous magnetic and plasma measurements; Non-force free
-Adapted to a fully multispacecraft technique (Hasegawa et al. [2004])
• Limitations (diagnostic measures):
-2D, uncertainty in z (the quality of Pt(A) fitting, Rf)
2D Pt(A), Pt(A) 2D
-Time stationary (quality of the frame of reference)
-Static (evaluating the residual plasma flow)
-Numerical errors limit the extent in y direction (rule of thumb: |y||x|, y«x)
