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:

    When a mother quarrels with a daughter, she has a double dose of unhappiness—hers from the conflict, and empathy with her daughter’s from the conflict with her. Throughout her life a mother retains this special need to maintain a good relationship with her daughter.
    Terri Apter (20th century)

    Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.
    Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

    Forget about the precious sight
    of my lover’s face
    that steals away my heart.
    Just seeing the borders
    of the fields on the borders
    of her village
    gives me instant joy.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The usual derivation of the word Metaphysics is not to be sustained ... the science is supposed to take its name from its superiority to physics. The truth is, that Aristotle’s treatise on Morals is next in succession to his Book of Physics.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    The sense of humour has other things to do
    than to make itself conspicuous in the act
    of laughter.
    Alice Meynell (1847–1922)
