Abstract

Based on the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and fixed-point method, we provide an elementary proof for the representation theorem of analytic isotropic tensor functions of a second-order tensor in a three-dimensional (3D) inner-product space, which avoids introducing the generating function and Taylor series expansion. The proof is also extended to any finite-dimensional inner-product space.
