Chapter 5: Q17P (page 269)

Find theJacobian $\partial (x, y) / \partial (u, y)$ of the given transformations from variables x,yto variables u,v:
$_{y = a s i n h u s i n v,}^{x = a c o s h u c o s v,} (u and v are called elliptic cylinder coordinates)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The determinant of the Jacobian is $|J| = a^{2} \sin h^{2} u \cos^{2} v + a^{2} \cos h^{2} u \sin^{2} v$ .

Step by step solution

Given Condition

The giventransformation is

$x = a \cos h u \cos v y = a \sin h u \sin v$ .

Concept of the Jacobian

The Jacobian of x,ywith respect to s,t is

$J = J (\frac{x, y}{s, t}) = \frac{\partial (x, y)}{\partial (s, t)} = | \begin{matrix} \frac{\partial x}{\partial s} & \frac{\partial x}{\partial t} \\ \frac{\partial y}{\partial s} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial t} \end{matrix} |$

Determine the Jacobian

$|J| = \frac{\partial (x, y)}{\partial (u, v)} = |\begin{matrix} \partial_{u} x & \partial_{v} x \\ \partial_{u} y & \partial_{v} y \end{matrix}| = | \begin{matrix} \frac{\partial x}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial x}{\partial v} \\ \frac{\partial y}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial v} \end{matrix} | = \frac{\partial x}{\partial u} \frac{\partial y}{\partial v} - \frac{\partial y}{\partial u} \frac{\partial x}{\partial v}$

$= |\begin{matrix} a \sin h u \cos v & - a \cos h u \sin v \\ a \cos h u \sin v & a \sin h u \cos v \end{matrix}|$

$= (a \sin h u \cos v) (a \sin h u \cos v) + (a \cos h u \sin v) (a \cos h u \sin v) = a^{2} \sin h^{2} u \cos^{2} = a^{2} \cos h^{2} u \sin^{2} v$

The determinant of the Jacobian is $|J| = a^{2} \sinh^{2} {ucos}^{2} = a^{2} \cosh^{2} {usin}^{2} v$ .
