Parabolic cylinder coordinates
In equationlet the variables be rectangular coordinates x, y, z, and let , be general curvilinear coordinates, orthogonal or not (see end of Section 8 ). Show that is the matrix in [or in for an orthogonal system]. Thus show that the volume element in a general coordinate system is where , and that for an orthogonal system, this becomes [by or ], . Hint: To evaluate the products of partial derivatives in , observe that the same expressions arise as in finding . In fact, from and , you can show that row i times column j in is just in equations to .
Write the tensor transformation equations for to show that this is a (rank 6) tensor (nota pseudo tensor). Hint:Write (6.1) for eachand multiply them, being careful not to re-use a pair of summation indices.
