Math Help - Partial derivation, Kronecker delta

1. Partial derivation, Kronecker delta

Hi,

i have attached a problem. Can anyone help me???

2. Re: Partial derivation, Kronecker delta

Hey FilipVz.

This looks like a chain rule problem. Just to clarify, are these tensor indices? (Note that a non-zero Jacobian implies that a bi-jection exists between co-ordinate systems if I recall correctly).

Hi, chiro,

Yes those are tensor indicies. Do you have any idea how to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

4. Re: Partial derivation, Kronecker delta

Its been a while since I actually did problems with tensors, but try finding the tensor expression for the chain rule in many variables (there has to be a compact form somewhere).

have you tried to use the operator eps(123...) by rotating the indices
