Problem 3 5 Points

a) Which of the following relationships are identical after conversion into their

respective index notation? Justify your answer (mathematically or with logical

arguments).

(a) 𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨 (e) 𝐴𝐴T


𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 𝐵𝐵𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 𝒆𝒆𝑖𝑖 ⊗ 𝒆𝒆𝑘𝑘

(b) 𝑩𝑩T 𝑨𝑨T (f) 𝐴𝐴𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝐵𝐵𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘 𝒆𝒆𝑖𝑖 ⊗ 𝒆𝒆𝑗𝑗

(c) 𝑩𝑩𝑩𝑩 (g) 𝐵𝐵𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙 𝐴𝐴𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝒆𝒆𝑖𝑖 ⊗ 𝒆𝒆𝑗𝑗

(d) (𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨)T (h) 𝐴𝐴T T


𝑗𝑗𝑗𝑗 𝐵𝐵𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 𝒆𝒆𝑖𝑖 ⊗ 𝒆𝒆𝑘𝑘

Is it possible to rename indices? If so, what do you need to bear in mind? If no: Why

not? Note: Please note that the indices contain information about the symbolic

operations.

b) Convert the expressions into index notation and state the resultant tensor order:
𝒂𝒂 ⋅ (𝑩𝑩𝑩𝑩) = 𝛼𝛼, (𝑨𝑨𝑨𝑨)𝒄𝒄 = 𝒂𝒂, (𝒂𝒂 ⊗ 𝒃𝒃) ⋅ (𝒄𝒄 ⊗ 𝒅𝒅) = 𝛽𝛽, 𝑨𝑨(𝑩𝑩 + 𝑪𝑪) = 𝑫𝑫

c) Convert the following expressions into symbolic notation


𝑏𝑏𝑖𝑖 𝐴𝐴𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 = 𝑐𝑐𝑗𝑗 , 𝐵𝐵𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘 𝑎𝑎𝑘𝑘 𝐴𝐴𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 = 𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑖 , 𝐵𝐵𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 𝐴𝐴𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 𝐶𝐶𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 = 𝛼𝛼
