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, ...

A set of functions {f_1(n,x),f_2(n,x)} is termed a complete biorthogonal system in the closed interval R if, they are biorthogonal, i.e., int_Rf_1(m,x)f_1(n,x)dx = ...

A complete metric is a metric in which every Cauchy sequence is convergent. A topological space with a complete metric is called a complete metric space.

Two complex numbers z=x+iy and z^'=x^'+iy^' are added together componentwise, z+z^'=(x+x^')+i(y+y^'). In component form, (x,y)+(x^',y^')=(x+x^',y+y^') (Krantz 1999, p. 1).

A derivative of a complex function, which must satisfy the Cauchy-Riemann equations in order to be complex differentiable.

The division of two complex numbers can be accomplished by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator, for example, with z_1=a+bi ...

The difference of two complex numbers z=x+iy and z^'=x^'+iy^' is given by z-z^'=(x-x^')+i(y-y^'). In component form, (x,y)-(x^',y^')=(x-x^',y-y^').

The space of continuously differentiable functions is denoted C^1, and corresponds to the k=1 case of a C-k function.

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