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:
“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)
“For my part, I would rather look toward Rutland than Jerusalem. Rutland,—modern town,—land of ruts,—trivial and worn,—not too sacred,—with no holy sepulchre, but profane green fields and dusty roads, and opportunity to live as holy a life as you can, where the sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is usual for a Man who loves Country Sports to preserve the Game in his own Grounds, and divert himself upon those that belong to his Neighbour.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.”
—Ansel Adams (1902–1984)
