First-order chain rules for the zoomed fields #
The zoom map zoomPoint of eq:aniso:zoom:finite:variables sends ((r, z), τ) to the
point (meridional (lam r) (zc + lam^(1-2h) z), lam² τ). Its time slot does not depend on
r or on z, so the r- and z-derivatives of a zoomed field are derivatives along a
straight line inside a fixed spatial slice {t = lam² τ}. Every derivative below is
therefore taken on Vec3, never on the parabolic carrier itself (design note R2:
ParabolicPoint carries the parabolic metric and no linear structure of its own).
The resulting formulas are the first-order part of eq:aniso:zoom:fields:
∂_r V = lam² ∂₁u₁, ∂_z V = lam · lam^{1-2h} ∂₃u₁, and the analogous identities for
W and S with the extra factor lam^{2h}.
Derivatives of the meridional line #
Moving the radial coordinate of a meridional point at speed a moves it along e₁.
Moving the vertical coordinate of a meridional point at speed a moves it along e₃.
Chain rule inside a fixed time slice #
A component of a C¹ field, read along a curve f that stays in the time slice of z
and passes through z with velocity a • e_j, has derivative a ∂_j u_i (z). Only the
spatial slice fun y : Vec3 => u (y, z.2) is differentiated, so no linear structure on the
parabolic carrier is required.
