Proof: There is no function $f in C^2(mathbb{R^3})$ with gradient $nabla f(x,y,z) = (yz, xz, xy^2)$












2














How can one show that there is no function, which is a continuously partially derivable function $f in C^2(mathbb{R^3})$ with this gradient



$$nabla f(x,y,z) = (yz, xz, xy^2)$$



I thought about using the Hessian matrix since one has to calculate all second partial derivatives of $f$ there.



Since only the gradient is given, can I calculate the antiderivatives first:



$yz = xyz$



$xz = xyz$



$xy^2 = xy^2z$



Now I want to calculate the antiderivatives of the antiderivatives:



$xyz = frac{yzx^2}{2}$



$xyz = frac{yzx^2}{2}$



$xy^2z = dfrac{y^2zx^2}{2}$



I didn't calculate the antiderivatives of the partial derivatives and I don't even know if that way is correct...

          If $$nabla f=(f_1(x,y,z),f_2(x,y,z),f_3(x,y,z))$$and $f_i$s are twice differentiable, we must have $${partial ^2 f_1over partial ypartial z}={partial ^2 f_2over partial xpartial z}={partial ^2 f_3over partial xpartial y}$$for all $x,y,z$ but this doesn't hold here since $$1=1ne 2yqquad forall x,y,zin Bbb R$$therefore such a function doesn't exist.

            In other words, you are asking to show that your vector field is not conservative. It is enough to show that the curl of your vector field is different to zero.

                              3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question
