  2. Two-point tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-point_tensor

    Two-point tensors, or double vectors, are tensor-like quantities which transform as Euclidean vectors with respect to each of their indices. They are used in continuum mechanics to transform between reference ("material") and present ("configuration") coordinates. [ 1 ]

  3. Penrose graphical notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_graphical_notation

    Penrose graphical notation (tensor diagram notation) of a matrix product state of five particles. In mathematics and physics, Penrose graphical notation or tensor diagram notation is a (usually handwritten) visual depiction of multilinear functions or tensors proposed by Roger Penrose in 1971. [1]

  4. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

  5. Torsion tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_tensor

    In other terms, Θ is a tensor of type (1, 2) (carrying one contravariant and two covariant indices). Alternatively, the solder form can be characterized in a frame-independent fashion as the TM-valued one-form θ on M corresponding to the identity endomorphism of the tangent bundle under the duality isomorphism End(TM) ≈ TM ⊗ T ∗ M. Then ...

  6. Raising and lowering indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_and_lowering_indices

    It is common convention to use greek indices when writing expressions involving tensors in Minkowski space, while Latin indices are reserved for Euclidean space. Well-formulated expressions are constrained by the rules of Einstein summation : any index may appear at most twice and furthermore a raised index must contract with a lowered index.

  7. Stack (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(mathematics)

    In mathematics a stack or 2-sheaf is, roughly speaking, a sheaf that takes values in categories rather than sets. Stacks are used to formalise some of the main constructions of descent theory , and to construct fine moduli stacks when fine moduli spaces do not exist.

  8. Levi-Civita symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_symbol

    In two dimensions, the Levi-Civita symbol is defined by: = {+ (,) = (,) (,) = (,) = The values can be arranged into a 2 × 2 antisymmetric matrix: = (). Use of the two-dimensional symbol is common in condensed matter, and in certain specialized high-energy topics like supersymmetry [1] and twistor theory, [2] where it appears in the context of 2-spinors.

  9. Tensor decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_decomposition

    A multi-way graph with K perspectives is a collection of K matrices ,..... with dimensions I × J (where I, J are the number of nodes). This collection of matrices is naturally represented as a tensor X of size I × J × K. In order to avoid overloading the term “dimension”, we call an I × J × K tensor a three “mode” tensor, where “modes” are the numbers of indices used to index ...
