AI Thread Summary
For the initial value problem defined by the matrix equation $\overset{\cdot }{\mathop{x}}\,=Ax$ with distinct real eigenvalues, the solution $u(t,x_0)$ is expressed as $u(t,x_{0}) = c_{0}\ A\ e^{\lambda\ t}$, where $c_{0}= x_{0}\ A^{-1}$. This formulation demonstrates that $u(t,x_0)$ is linear in $x_0$, ensuring its continuity. Consequently, it follows that for any fixed time $t \in \mathbb{R}$, the limit $\lim_{y_0\to x_0}u(t,y_0)$ equals $u(t,x_0)$. Thus, the continuity of the solution with respect to initial conditions is established.

Let $A_{n\times n}$ be a matrix with real and distincts eigenvalues. Let $u(t,x_0)$ be a solution for the initial value problem $\overset{\cdot }{\mathop{x}}\,=Ax$ with $x(0)=x_0,$ then show that for each fixed $t\in\mathbb R,$ we have $$\lim_{y_0\to x_0}u(t,y_0)=u(t,x_0).$$

[sp]The general solution of the IVP is $\displaystyle u(t,x_{0}) = c_{0}\ A\ e^{\lambda\ t}$, where $\displaystyle c_{0}= x_{0}\ A^{-1}$, so that $u(t,x_{0})$ is linear in $x_{0}$ and therefore continous...[/sp]Kind regards $\chi$ $\sigma$
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
