Time Dependent Vector Field - Relationship With Vector Fields in The Usual Sense

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 with, relationship, fields, usual and/or sense:

    Henry David Thoreau, who never earned much of a living or sustained a relationship with any woman that wasn’t brotherly—who lived mostly under his parents’ roof ... who advocated one day’s work and six days “off” as the weekly round and was considered a bit of a fool in his hometown ... is probably the American writer who tells us best how to live comfortably with our most constant companion, ourselves.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)

    I don’t pop my cork for ev’ry guy I see.
    —Dorothy Fields (1904–1974)

    The treatment of the incident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that I am of the opinion that there is a good prospect that the differences growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this Government by the usual methods and without special powers from Congress.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    We too are somehow impossible, formed of so many different things,
    Too many to make sense to anybody.
    We straggle on as quotients, hard-to-combine
    Ingredients, and what continues
    Does so with our participation and consent.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
