The Schrödinger equation describes the motion of particles in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, and was first written down by Erwin Schrödinger. The time-dependent ...

Underdamped simple harmonic motion is a special case of damped simple harmonic motion x^..+betax^.+omega_0^2x=0 (1) in which beta^2-4omega_0^2<0. (2) Since we have ...

A tensor defined in terms of the tensors which satisfy the double contraction relation.

A bivector, also called a 2-vector, is an antisymmetric tensor of second rank (a.k.a. 2-form). For a bivector X^->, X^->=X_(ab)omega^a ^ omega^b, where ^ is the wedge product ...

For a smooth harmonic map u:M->N, where del is the gradient, Ric is the Ricci curvature tensor, and Riem is the Riemann tensor.

The antisymmetric parts of the Christoffel symbol of the second kind Gamma^lambda_(munu).

Let AB and CD be dyads. Their colon product is defined by AB:CD=C·AB·D=(A·C)(B·D).

The components of the gradient of the one-form dA are denoted A_(,k), or sometimes partial_kA, and are given by A_(,k)=(partialA)/(partialx^k) (Misner et al. 1973, p. 62). ...

A tensor-like coefficient which gives the difference between partial derivatives of two coordinates with respect to the other coordinate, ...

Contracting tensors lambda with nu in the Bianchi identities R_(lambdamunukappa;eta)+R_(lambdamuetanu;kappa)+R_(lambdamukappaeta;nu)=0 (1) gives ...
