Hellow! I have searched for some theory about linear system in polar coordinates, unfortunately, I not found anything... exist some theory, some book, anything about this topic for study? Thanks!
 
on Phys.org
Give an example of what you mean by "linear system in polar coordinates". Are you talking about a set of simultaneous linear equations? - or a system of linear differential equations?
 
I think in something like:
[tex]\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12}\\ a_{21} & a_{22}\\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} r\\ \theta\\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} b_{1}\\ b_{2}\\ \end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Where a_ij can be a simple coeficient or a polynomial of kind aD³+bD²+cD+d (where D is the derivative operator) and b_i a simple coeficient.

But using [r θ] instead of use [x y].

In that equation, I don't understand what function D would operate upon? Do we have funtions [itex]r = r(t), \theta = \theta(t)[/itex] and [itex]D = \frac{d}{dt}[/itex] ?
