VectorField & OneForm Object Operator Methods

overview of VectorField and OneForm object operators

Description

• 

The + and - operators provide addition and subtraction of two objects X and Y, and returns a new object Z. These objects are either all VectorField or all OneForm objects.

• 

These objects can also be added using the existing commands add and sum.

• 

The * operator provides scalar multiplication of an object X, and returns a new object Y. These two objects are either both VectorField or both OneForm objects.

• 

The = operator tests equality of two VectorField or OneForm objects. The two objects are regarded as equal if they live on the same space and have the same components.

• 

The ?[] operator provides a look-up of components of a VectorField or OneForm object. The object is indexed by its space coordinates, see examples below.

• 

These operators are associated with the VectorField and OneForm objects. For more detail, see Overview of the VectorField object, Overview of the OneForm object.

One-form arithmetic works same as vector field arithmetic.

Although θ1,θ2 look the same, they are not equal because they live on different spaces.

Compatibility

• 

The VectorField & OneForm Object Operator Methods command was introduced in Maple 2020.
