It follows from the fact that all norms on the finite - dimensional vector space are equivalent and from the definition of the complete derivative on the normed affine spaces (see: L.Schwartz, Analyse Mathematique, Hermann, 1967). In particular, it is shown that the \"substantial derivative\" of the standard formulation is a directional derivative along the \"non - relativistic four - velocity\".", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-11-17T09:09:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fluid mechanics", "invariant formulation", "dimensional affine space", "dimensional vector space", "standard formulation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
