Write the transformation equation for a -rank tensor; for a -rank tensor
As we did in (3.3) , show that the contracted tensor is a first-rank tensor, that is, a vector.
Show that the transformation equation for a -rank Cartesian tensor is equivalent to a similarity transformation. Warning hint: Note that the matrix C in Chapter 3 , Section 11 , is the inverse of the matrix A we are using in Chapter 10 (compare). Thus a similarity transformation of the matrix T with tensor components is. Also, see “Tensors and Matrices” in Section 3 and remember that A is orthogonal.
If role="math" localid="1659267226224" is a contravariant vector and is a covariant vector, show thatis a -rank mixed tensor. Hint:Write the transformation equations for U and V and multiply them.
