摘要:

This paper reports the new progresses in the axiomatization of tensor anal-ysis, including the thought of axiomatization, the concept of generalized components, the axiom of covariant form invariability, the axiomatized definition, the algebraic structure, the transformation group, and the simple calculation of generalized covariant differentia-tions. These progresses strengthen the tendency of the axiomatization of tensor analysis.

关键词: tensor analysis, generalized covariant differentiation, covariant differential transformation group, axiom of covariant form invariability, generalized compo-nent
