  2. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Jacobian_matrix_and_determinant

    The Jacobian determinant is sometimes simply referred to as "the Jacobian". The Jacobian determinant at a given point gives important information about the behavior of f near that point. For instance, the continuously differentiable function f is invertible near a point p ∈ R n if the Jacobian determinant at p is non-zero. This is the inverse ...

  3. Jacobi's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi's_formula

    In matrix calculus, Jacobi's formula expresses the derivative of the determinant of a matrix A in terms of the adjugate of A and the derivative of A. [1]If A is a differentiable map from the real numbers to n × n matrices, then

  4. Inverse function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function_theorem

    If it is true, the Jacobian conjecture would be a variant of the inverse function theorem for polynomials. It states that if a vector-valued polynomial function has a Jacobian determinant that is an invertible polynomial (that is a nonzero constant), then it has an inverse that is also a polynomial function. It is unknown whether this is true ...

  5. Determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinant

    The Jacobian at a point gives the best linear approximation of the distorted parallelogram near that point (right, in translucent white), and the Jacobian determinant gives the ratio of the area of the approximating parallelogram to that of the original square.

  6. Jacobian conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_conjecture

    The strong real Jacobian conjecture was that a real polynomial map with a nowhere vanishing Jacobian determinant has a smooth global inverse. That is equivalent to asking whether such a map is topologically a proper map , in which case it is a covering map of a simply connected manifold , hence invertible.

  7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    Jacobian matrix and determinant – Matrix of all first-order partial derivatives of a vector-valued function List of canonical coordinate transformations Sphere – Set of points equidistant from a center

  8. Relative scalar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_scalar

    that is, the determinant of the Jacobian of the transformation. [1] A scalar density refers to the w = 1 {\displaystyle w=1} case. Relative scalars are an important special case of the more general concept of a relative tensor .

  9. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    Difficult integrals may also be solved by simplifying the integral using a change of variables given by the corresponding Jacobian matrix and determinant. [1] Using the Jacobian determinant and the corresponding change of variable that it gives is the basis of coordinate systems such as polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems.
