In [[multilinear algebra]], a '''dyadic''' or '''dyadic tensor''' is a second [[Tensor (intrinsic definition)#Definition via tensor products of vector spaces|order]] [[tensor]] written in a special notation, formed by juxtaposing pairs of vectors, along with a notation for manipulating such expressions analogous to the rules for [[matrix (mathematics)|matrix algebra]]. The notation and terminology is relatively obsolete today. Its uses in physics include [[stress analysis]] and [[electromagnetism]].
This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.


Dyadic notation was first established by [[Josiah Willard Gibbs]] in 1884.
If you would like use the '''MathML''' rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin/signup]]
* Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
* Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.


In this article, upper-case bold variables denote dyadics (including dyads) whereas lower-case bold variables denote vectors. An alternative notation uses respectively double and single over- or underbars.
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

A ''dyad'' is a [[tensor]] of [[Tensor order|order]] two and [[Tensor rank|rank]] one, and is the result of the dyadic product of two [[Euclidean vector|vector]]s ([[complex vector]]s in general), whereas a ''dyadic'' is a general [[tensor]] of [[Tensor order|order]] two.

*the '''[[outer product]]''' of two [[column vector]]s '''a''' and '''b''' is denoted and defined as '''a''' &otimes; '''b''' or '''ab'''<sup>T</sup>, where T means [[transpose]],

In the dyadic context they all have the same definition and meaning, and are used synonymously, although the '''tensor product''' is an instance of the more general and abstract use of the term.

A ''dyad'' is a component of the dyadic (a [[monomial]] of the sum or equivalently entry of the matrix) - the juxtaposition of a pair of [[basis vector]]s [[scalar multiplication|scalar multiplied]] by a number.
 
Just as the standard basis (and unit) vectors '''i''', '''j''', '''k''', have the representations:
 
:<math>\mathbf{i} = \begin{pmatrix}
1 \\
0 \\
0
\end{pmatrix}, \mathbf{j} = \begin{pmatrix}
0 \\
1 \\
0
\end{pmatrix}, \mathbf{k} = \begin{pmatrix}
0 \\
0 \\
1
\end{pmatrix}
</math>
 
(which can be transposed), the ''standard basis (and unit) dyads'' have the representation:
 
:<math>\mathbf{ii} = \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix}, \cdots \mathbf{ji} = \begin{pmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 \\
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix}, \cdots \mathbf{jk} = \begin{pmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix} \cdots
</math>
 
For a simple numerical example in the standard basis:
 
:<math>\begin{align}
\mathbf{A} & = 2\mathbf{ij} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\mathbf{ji} - 8\pi \mathbf{jk} + \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3} \mathbf{kk} \\
& = 2 \begin{pmatrix}
0 & 1 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 \\
1 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix} - 8\pi \begin{pmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix} + \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}\begin{pmatrix}
0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{pmatrix}\\
& = \begin{pmatrix}
0 & 2 & 0 \\
\sqrt{3}/2 & 0 & - 8\pi \\
0 & 0 & \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}
\end{pmatrix}
\end{align}</math>
 
====''N''-dimensional Euclidean space====
 
If the Euclidean space is ''N''-[[dimension]]al, and
 
:<math> \mathbf{a} = \sum_{i=1}^N a_i\mathbf{e}_i = a_1 \mathbf{e}_1 + a_2 \mathbf{e}_2 + \cdots a_N \mathbf{e}_N</math>
:<math>\mathbf{b} = \sum_{j=1}^N b_j\mathbf{e}_j  = b_1 \mathbf{e}_1 + b_2 \mathbf{e}_2 + \cdots b_N \mathbf{e}_N</math>
 
where '''e'''<sub>''i''</sub> and '''e'''<sub>''j''</sub> are the [[standard basis]] vectors in ''N''-dimensions (the index ''i'' on '''e'''<sub>''i''</sub> selects a specific vector, not a component of the vector as in ''a<sub>i</sub>''), then in algebraic form their dyadic product is:
 
:<math> \mathbf{A} = \sum _{j=1}^N\sum_{i=1}^N a_ib_j{\mathbf{e}}_i\mathbf{e}_j.</math>
 
This is known as the ''nonion form'' of the dyadic. Their outer/tensor product in matrix form is:
 
:<math>
\mathbf{ab} = \mathbf{ab}^\mathrm{T} =
\begin{pmatrix}
a_1 \\
a_2 \\
\vdots \\
a_N
\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}
b_1 & b_2 & \cdots & b_N
\end{pmatrix}
= \begin{pmatrix}
a_1b_1 & a_1b_2 & \cdots & a_1b_N \\
a_2b_1 & a_2b_2 & \cdots & a_2b_N \\
\vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\
a_Nb_1 & a_Nb_2 & \cdots & a_Nb_N
\end{pmatrix}.</math>
 
A ''dyadic polynomial'' '''A''', otherwise known as a dyadic, is formed from multiple vectors '''a'''<sub>''i''</sub> and '''b'''<sub>''j''</sub>:
 
:<math> \mathbf{A} = \sum_i\mathbf{a}_i\mathbf{b}_i = \mathbf{a}_1\mathbf{b}_1+\mathbf{a}_2\mathbf{b}_2+\mathbf{a}_3\mathbf{b}_3+\cdots </math>
 
A dyadic which cannot be reduced to a sum of less than ''N'' dyads is said to be complete. In this case, the forming vectors are non-coplanar,{{Dubious|date=October 2012}} see [[#Chen|Chen (1983)]].

==== Double-dot product ====
 
There are two ways to define the double dot product, one must be careful when deciding which convention to use. As there are no analogous matrix operations for the remaining dyadic products, no ambiguities in their definitions appear.
 
The double-dot product is [[commutative]] due to commutativity of the normal dot-product:
 
:<math> \mathbf{A} \colon \! \mathbf{B} = \mathbf{B} \colon \! \mathbf{A} </math>
 
There is a special double dot product with a [[transpose]]
 
:<math> \mathbf{A} \colon \! \mathbf{B}^\mathrm{T} = \mathbf{A}^\mathrm{T} \colon \! \mathbf{B} </math>
 
Another identity is:
 
:<math>\mathbf{A}\colon\mathbf{B}=\left(\mathbf{A}\cdot\mathbf{B}^\mathrm{T}\right)\colon \mathbf{I}
=\left(\mathbf{B}\cdot\mathbf{A}^\mathrm{T}\right)\colon \mathbf{I} </math>
 
==== Double-cross product ====
 
We can see that, for any dyad formed from two vectors '''a''' and '''b''', its double cross product is zero.
 
:<math> \left(\mathbf{ab}\right)
\!\!\!\begin{array}{c}
_\times  \\
^\times
\end{array}\!\!\!
\left(\mathbf{ab}\right)=\left(\mathbf{a}\times\mathbf{a}\right)\left(\mathbf{b}\times\mathbf{b}\right)= 0</math>
 
However, by definition, a dyadic double-cross product on itself will generally be non-zero. For example, a dyadic '''A''' composed of six different vectors
 
:<math>\mathbf{A}=\sum _{i=1}^3 \mathbf{a}_i\mathbf{b}_i </math>
 
has a non-zero self-double-cross product of
 
:<math> \mathbf{A}
\!\!\!\begin{array}{c}
_\times  \\
^\times
\end{array}\!\!\!
\mathbf{A} = 2 \left[\left(\mathbf{a}_1\times \mathbf{a}_2\right)\left(\mathbf{b}_1\times \mathbf{b}_2\right)+\left(\mathbf{a}_2\times \mathbf{a}_3\right)\left(\mathbf{b}_2\times \mathbf{b}_3\right)+\left(\mathbf{a}_3\times \mathbf{a}_1\right)\left(\mathbf{b}_3\times \mathbf{b}_1\right)\right] </math>
 
====Tensor contraction====
 
{{main|Tensor contraction}}
 
The ''spur'' or ''expansion factor'' arises from the formal expansion of the dyadic in a coordinate basis by replacing each juxtaposition by a dot product of vectors:
 
:<math> \begin{array}{llll}
|\mathbf{A}| & = A_{11} \mathbf{i}\cdot\mathbf{i} + A_{12} \mathbf{i}\cdot\mathbf{j} + A_{31} \mathbf{i}\cdot\mathbf{k} \\
& + A_{21} \mathbf{j}\cdot\mathbf{i} + A_{22} \mathbf{j}\cdot\mathbf{j} + A_{23} \mathbf{j}\cdot\mathbf{k}\\
& + A_{31} \mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{i} + A_{32} \mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{j} + A_{33} \mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{k} \\
\\
& = A_{11} + A_{22} + A_{33} \\
\end{array}</math>
 
in index notation this is the contraction of indices on the dyadic:
 
:<math>|\mathbf{A}| = \sum_i A_i{}^i</math>
 
In three dimensions only, the ''rotation factor'' arises by replacing every juxtaposition by a [[cross product]]
 
:<math> \begin{array}{llll}
\langle\mathbf{A}\rangle & = A_{11} \mathbf{i}\times\mathbf{i} + A_{12} \mathbf{i}\times\mathbf{j} + A_{31} \mathbf{i}\times\mathbf{k} \\
& + A_{21} \mathbf{j}\times\mathbf{i} + A_{22} \mathbf{j}\times\mathbf{j} + A_{23} \mathbf{j}\times\mathbf{k}\\
& + A_{31} \mathbf{k}\times\mathbf{i} + A_{32} \mathbf{k}\times\mathbf{j} + A_{33} \mathbf{k}\times\mathbf{k} \\
\\
& = A_{12} \mathbf{k} - A_{31} \mathbf{j} - A_{21} \mathbf{k} \\
& + A_{23} \mathbf{i} + A_{31} \mathbf{j} - A_{32} \mathbf{i} \\
\\
& = (A_{23}-A_{32})\mathbf{i} + (A_{31}-A_{13})\mathbf{j} + (A_{12}-A_{21})\mathbf{k}\\
\end{array}</math>
 
In index notation this is the contraction of '''A''' with the [[Levi-Civita tensor]]
:<math>\langle\mathbf{A}\rangle=\sum_{jk}{\epsilon_i}^{jk}A_{jk}.</math>
 
==Special dyadics==
 
===Unit dyadic===
 
For any vector '''a''', there exist a unit dyadic '''I''', such that
 
:<math> \mathbf{I}\cdot\mathbf{a}=\mathbf{a}\cdot\mathbf{I}= \mathbf{a} </math>
 
For any basis of 3 vectors '''a''', '''b''' and '''c''', with [[Multiplicative inverse|reciprocal]] basis <math>\hat{{\mathbf{a}}}, \hat{\mathbf{b}}, \hat{\mathbf{c}}</math>, the unit dyadic is defined by
 
:<math>\mathbf{I} = \mathbf{a}\hat{\mathbf{a}} + \mathbf{b}\hat{\mathbf{b}} + \mathbf{c}\hat{\mathbf{c}}</math>
 
In the standard basis,
 
:<math> \mathbf{I} = \mathbf{ii} + \mathbf{jj} + \mathbf{kk} </math>
 
The corresponding matrix is
 
:<math>\mathbf{I}=\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & 1\\
\end{pmatrix}</math>
 
This can be put on more careful foundations (explaining what the logical content of "juxtaposing notation" could possibly mean) using the language of tensor products.  If ''V'' is a finite-dimensional [[vector space]], a dyadic tensor on ''V'' is an elementary tensor in the tensor product of ''V'' with its [[dual space]].
 
The tensor product of ''V'' and its dual space is [[isomorphic]] to the space of [[linear map]]s from ''V'' to ''V'': a dyadic tensor ''vf'' is simply the linear map sending any ''w'' in ''V'' to ''f''(''w'')''v''. When ''V'' is Euclidean ''n''-space, we can use the [[inner product]] to identify the dual space with ''V'' itself, making a dyadic tensor an elementary tensor product of two vectors in Euclidean space.
 
In this sense, the unit dyadic '''ij''' is the function from 3-space to itself sending ''a''<sub>1</sub>'''i''' + ''a''<sub>2</sub>'''j''' + ''a''<sub>3</sub>'''k''' to ''a''<sub>2</sub>'''i''', and '''jj''' sends this sum to ''a&zwj;''<sub>2</sub>'''j'''. Now it is revealed in what (precise) sense  '''ii''' + '''jj''' + '''kk''' is the identity:  it sends ''a''<sub>1</sub>'''i''' + ''a''<sub>2</sub>'''j''' + ''a''<sub>3</sub>'''k''' to itself because its effect is to sum each unit vector in the standard basis scaled by the coefficient of the vector in that basis.

where "tr" denotes the [[Trace (linear algebra)|trace]].
 
===Rotation dyadic===
 
For any vector '''a''' in two dimensions, the left-cross product with the identity dyad '''I''':
 
:<math> \mathbf{a}\times \mathbf{I}</math>
 
is a 90 degree anticlockwise rotation dyadic around ''a''. Alternatively the dyadic tensor
 
:'''J'''  =  '''ji &minus; ij''' = <math> \begin{pmatrix}
0 & -1 \\
1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}</math>
 
is a 90° anticlockwise [[Rotation operator (vector space)|rotation operator]] in 2d. It can be left-dotted with a vector to produce the rotation:
:<math> (\mathbf{j i} - \mathbf{i j}) \cdot (x \mathbf{i} + y \mathbf{j}) =
x \mathbf{j i} \cdot \mathbf{i} - x \mathbf{i j} \cdot \mathbf{i} + y \mathbf{j i} \cdot \mathbf{j} - y \mathbf{i j} \cdot \mathbf{j} =
-y \mathbf{i} + x \mathbf{j},</math>
or in matrix notation
:<math>
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & -1 \\
1 & 0
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
x \\
y
\end{pmatrix}=
\begin{pmatrix}
-y \\
x
\end{pmatrix}.</math>
 
A general 2d rotation dyadic for θ angle anti-clockwise is
 
:<math>\mathbf{I}\cos\theta + \mathbf{J}\sin\theta =
\begin{pmatrix}
  \cos\theta &-\sin\theta \\
  \sin\theta &\;\cos\theta
\end{pmatrix}
</math>
 
where '''I''' and '''J''' are as above.
