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.

    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.

    Like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some distance before him on the road he sees wrapped up in the fog, as well as those behind him, and also the people in the fields on each side, but near him all appears clear, though in truth he is as much in the fog as any of them.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    Richard Rorty (b. 1931)

    We mustn’t complain too much of being comedians—it’s an honourable profession. If only we could be good ones the world might gain at least a sense of style. We have failed—that’s all. We are bad comedians, we aren’t bad men.
