Relationship With Vector Fields in The Usual Sense
A vector field in the usual sense can be thought of as a time dependent vector field defined on even though its value on a point does not depend on the component .
Conversely, given a time dependent vector field X defined on, we can associate to it a vector field in the usual sense on such that the autonomous differential equation associated to is essentially equivalent to the nonautonomous differential equation associated to X. It suffices to impose:
for each, where we identify with . We can also write it as:
- .
To each integral curve of X, we can associate one integral curve of, and vice versa.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship, fields, usual and/or sense:
“Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The hunt is up, the morn is bright and grey,
The fields are fragrant and the woods are green.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“As usual I finish the day before the sea, sumptuous this evening beneath the moon, which writes Arab symbols with phosphorescent streaks on the slow swells. There is no end to the sky and the waters. How well they accompany sadness!”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.”
—Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
