Which of the following equations are valid expressions using index notation?

If you decide an expression


is invalid, state which rule is violated. (a) ij ij kk ij S = − σ σδ (b) 0 ∈∈ = ijk kkj (c) i k ijkl j l u u C tx x ρ ∂ ∂ ∂
= ∂∂ ∂ 2. Let R xx = k k . Calculate log( ) i R x ∂ ∂ and 2 log( ) i i R x x ∂ ∂ ∂ . 3. Verify that 1 1 2det( ) ji ipq
jkl pk ql S S S − = ∈∈ S (i.e. use the index notation rules to show that 1 S S ji im jm δ − = ) 4. Use index

orthonormal) basis in 3  , and let ij i j g = ⋅ m m , ij ij T m m S m m U ST =⊗ =⊗ = T S ij ij . Find ij U such
that ij U mm = ⊗ U i j , in terms of , , ij ij ij gT S .
