Let $α = dz - ydx in Ω^1 (mathbb{R}^3)$



Find a vector field Z in $mathbb{R^3}$ such that $α(Z) = 1$ and $dα(Z,.) = 0$



What I did:



I computed $dalpha = dx wedge dy $.
Then let $Z=apartial_x + bpartial_y +cpartial_z $ be a vector field in $mathbb{R}^3$



We have $α(Z) = 1 Rightarrow cpartial_z - yapartial_x = 1 $ (I)



and $dα(Z,.) = 0 Rightarrow dx wedge dy (apartial_x + bpartial_y +cpartial_z , .)$.



but we have $ dx wedge dy (apartial_x) = dx(a partial_x)dy(.) -dx(.)dy(a partial_x) = ady(.)$



and $ dx wedge dy (bpartial_y) = dx(b partial_y)dy(.) -dx(.)dy(b partial_y) = -bdx(.)$



and $ dx wedge dy (bpartial_y) = 0$



which means finally
$ ady(.) = bdx(.) $ (II)



Could we find a,b and c from the two results (I) and (II)?



Thank you!

    (II) means that $a=b=0$,, while (I) is wrong; you get that $c-ay=1$. Hence the vector field you are looking for is $Z=partial_z$.

$begingroup$

As noted in the comment by @Dog_69 , the first equation should read as $c-ya=1$. Now you derived (II) correctly (although in a slightly complicated way), but since $dx$ and $dy$ are linearly independent in each point, (II) implies $a=b=0$, so (I) reduces to $c=1$. So you get the solution $Z=partial_z$ which is readily seen to be correct.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
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 ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
