Integral curves of vector fields on a normed vector space #
Let E be a normed vector space and v : ℝ → E → E be a time-dependent vector field on E.
An integral curve of v is a function γ : ℝ → E such that the derivative of γ at t equals
v t (γ t). The integral curve may only be defined for all t within some subset of ℝ.

IsIntegralCurveOn γ v s means γ t is tangent to v t (γ t) within s for all t ∈ s.
Equations
- IsIntegralCurveOn γ v s = ∀ t ∈ s, HasDerivWithinAt γ (v t (γ t)) s t
Instances For
IsIntegralCurveAt γ v t₀ means γ : ℝ → E is a local integral curve of v in a neighbourhood
containing t₀.
Equations
- IsIntegralCurveAt γ v t₀ = ∀ᶠ (t : ℝ) in nhds t₀, HasDerivAt γ (v t (γ t)) t
Instances For
IsIntegralCurve γ v means γ : ℝ → E is a global integral curve of v. That is, γ t is
tangent to v t (γ t) for all t : ℝ.
Equations
- IsIntegralCurve γ v = ∀ (t : ℝ), HasDerivAt γ (v t (γ t)) t
Instances For
γ is an integral curve for v at t₀ iff γ is an integral curve on some interval
containing t₀.
If γ is an integral curve at each t ∈ s, it is an integral curve on s.
