Description

Important: The tensor package has been deprecated. Use the superseding packages DifferentialGeometry and Physics instead.

• 

The function Killing_eqns(T, coord, Cf2 ) computes the expressions for Killing's equations for each component of the totally symmetric covariant tensor T.  Specifically, the symmetric part of the covariant derivative of T is computed and returned as a tensor_type. The components of T satisfy Killing's equations if all of the components of the result are zero.  Note that the rank of the result is one more than that of T.

• 

This routine is useful in two ways:  first, as a means of verifying that a tensor satisfies Killing's equations, and second, as a way of generating the differential equations for any unknown components of a symmetric tensor which is to satisfy Killing's equations.

• 

T must be of rank 1 or greater.  If T is of second rank or more, the component array of T must use Maple's symmetric indexing function (since T must be symmetric).

• 

Cf2 should be indexed using the cf2 indexing function provided by the tensor package.  It can be computed using the Christoffel2 routine.

• 

Simplification:  This routine uses the `tensor/cov_diff/simp` and `tensor/lin_com/simp` routines for simplification purposes.  The simplification routines are used indirectly by the symmetrize and cov_diff procedures as they are called by Killing_eqns.  By default, `tensor/cov_diff/simp` and `tensor/lin_com/simp` are initialized to the `tensor/simp` routine.  It is recommended that these routines be customized to suit the needs of the particular problem.
