Paper title: MATRIX-TENSOR EQUATIONS OF THE GENERAL LAWS IN RELATIVIST ELECTRODYNAMICS
Author(s): FLORIN MANEA, DORINA POPOVICI,
Abstract: The symbolic, implicit, obviously covariant expressions of the state and evolution
equations coresponding to specific laws of the electromagnetic field are elegant, but
none-univoque, unintuitive and unfamiliar to engineers. This is the reason why the
explicit matrix equations need to be highlighted as intermediary relations between the
intrinsic vectorial equations of Maxwell-Hertz and the symbolic, tensorial equations,
given their intuitive, univoque nature. Thus, matrix expressions corresponding to
quadrivectors and quadritensors, split into bivectors and bitensors for the simplifying of
equations and the intuitive prominescence of the covariant to the relative motion of
bodies and inertial systems of coordinates are highlighted. Similar properties are
obtained for equations of the (E,B) field as functions of electrodynamic
potentials (V,A) in the case of homogenous and isotropic environments.
