German term or phrase: Vektor auflösen
This is in the context of a description of mathematical operations on vectors. There isn't really anything else I could provide that would be helpful - I assume this means something very specific in German (that a mathematician would know).

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Erik Freitag: Possible, but "ein Vektorprodukt auflösen" sounds a bit strange to my ears to start with. I strongly suspect a slightly different meaning hidden in the context we're unfortunately still deprived of.

  -> Thanks efreitag. Yes, context might change it.

disagree  WriuszTran: It means exactly what sibsab said above, no context is required, and some of the comments here are ... not helpful
11 hrs
  -> You may well be right - but then it would be best if you or sibsab gave that answer and we can close the question and move on.
