Metric coordinate systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Coordinate systems are defined on general metric spaces with the purpose of generalizing vector fields on a manifold. Conversion formulae are available between metric and Cartesian coordinates on a Hilbert space. Nagumo's Invariance Theorem is invoked to prove the analogue of the classical Cauchy-Lipschitz Theorem for vector fields on a locally compact coordinatized space. A metric space version of Nagumo's Theorem is one consequence. Examples are given throughout.
