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:

    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)

    When any relationship is characterized by difference, particularly a disparity in power, there remains a tendency to model it on the parent-child-relationship. Even protectiveness and benevolence toward the poor, toward minorities, and especially toward women have involved equating them with children.
    Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)

    During the first World War women in the United States had a chance to try their capacities in wider fields of executive leadership in industry. Must we always wait for war to give us opportunity? And must the pendulum always swing back in the busy world of work and workers during times of peace?
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    I quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though I will still make use and get advantage of her as I can, as is usual in such cases.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.
    Don Delillo (b. 1926)
