  2. Partial derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_derivative

    If the direction of derivative is not repeated, it is called a mixed partial derivative. If all mixed second order partial derivatives are continuous at a point (or on a set), f is termed a C 2 function at that point (or on that set); in this case, the partial derivatives can be exchanged by Clairaut's theorem:

  3. Castigliano's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castigliano's_method

    Castigliano's method for calculating displacements is an application of his second theorem, which states: If the strain energy of a linearly elastic structure can be expressed as a function of generalised force Q i then the partial derivative of the strain energy with respect to generalised force gives the generalised displacement q i in the direction of Q i.

  4. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    for the second derivative, for the third derivative, and for the nth derivative. When f is a function of several variables, it is common to use "∂", a stylized cursive lower-case d, rather than "D". As above, the subscripts denote the derivatives that are being taken.

  5. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_second_derivatives

    The derivative of an integrable function can always be defined as a distribution, and symmetry of mixed partial derivatives always holds as an equality of distributions. The use of formal integration by parts to define differentiation of distributions puts the symmetry question back onto the test functions , which are smooth and certainly ...

  6. Derivation (differential algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_(differential...

    The partial derivative with respect to a variable is an R-derivation on the algebra of real-valued differentiable functions on R n. The Lie derivative with respect to a vector field is an R-derivation on the algebra of differentiable functions on a differentiable manifold; more generally it is a derivation on the tensor algebra of a manifold

  7. Second fundamental form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_fundamental_form

    It is common to denote the partial derivatives of r with respect to u α by r α, α = 1, 2. Regularity of the parametrization means that r 1 and r 2 are linearly independent for any (u 1,u 2) in the domain of r, and hence span the tangent plane to S at each point. Equivalently, the cross product r 1 × r 2 is a nonzero

  9. Vector calculus identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus_identities

    Another method of deriving vector and tensor derivative identities is to replace all occurrences of a vector in an algebraic identity by the del operator, provided that no variable occurs both inside and outside the scope of an operator or both inside the scope of one operator in a term and outside the scope of another operator in the same term ...
