The divergence of $\sigma$ is the vector field $\dv\sigma : \Omega \to \R^d$ with entries: $$(\dv\sigma(\x))_i = \sum\limits_{j=1}^d \frac{\partial \sigma_{ij}}{\partial x_j}(\x), \quad i=1,\ldots,d.$$ .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.Eulerian: .. admonition:: Eulerian (viewpoint) :class: dropdown The Eulerian description of a medium... .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.Frobenius: .. admonition:: Frobenius inner product :class: dropdown The Frobenius inner product between two square matrices $M, N \in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$ is the real value $M:N$ defined by: $$M:N = \text{tr}(M^TN) = \sum\limits_{i,j=1}^d m_{ij} n_{ij}.$$ .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.Hilbert: .. admonition:: Hilbert space :class: dropdown A Hilbert space is, in particular a Banach space. .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.Lagrangian: .. admonition:: Lagrangian (viewpoint) :class: dropdown The Lagrangian description of a medium... .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.LSM: .. admonition:: Level set method :class: dropdown The level set method generally consists in representing a domain $\Omega \subset \R^d$ in an implicit way when dealing with its evolution, i.e. This method is more extensively described in :numref:`sec.LSM`. .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.curvature: .. admonition:: Mean curvature :class: dropdown We refer to :numref:`sec.curvature` for further details. .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.strain: .. admonition:: Strain :class: dropdown Strain is synonymous to deformation. .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.VI: .. admonition:: Variational inequality :class: dropdown A variational inequality is Prototypes are obstacle problems, or contact problems. .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.VP: .. admonition:: Variational problem :class: dropdown A variational problem is defined by .. ######### * .. ########## .. _glos.vorticity: .. admonition:: Vorticity :class: dropdown The vorticity of a fluid is the trend to create eddies. .. #########
