D.15.2.44 derivationContraction

Procedure from library difform.lib (see difform_lib).

Usage:
derivationContraction(phi,df); phi derivation, df difform

Return:
the image of the contraction map i_phi applied to df

Remarks:
Since the contraction map is linear, it is only applied to the generators: So the image of df under i_phi is a sum, where the coefficients are multiplied by the image of the generators.

Note:
over the basering, the contraction map is the 0-map

Example:
 
LIB "difform.lib";
ring R = 0,(x,y,z),lp;
diffAlgebra();
==> // The differential algebra Omega_R was constructed and the differential \
   forms dDx, dDy, dDz, dx, dy, dz are available.
/////////////////////////////////
// Construction of derivations //
/////////////////////////////////
list L_1; L_1[1] = list(dx,dy,dz); L_1[2] = list(x,y,z);
derivation phi_1 = L_1; phi_1;
==>  Omega_R^1 --> R
==>        dx |--> x
==>        dy |--> y
==>        dz |--> z
==> 
==> 
list L_2; L_2[1] = list(dx,dy,dz); L_2[2] = list(y-x,z-y,x-z);
derivation phi_2 = L_2; phi_2;
==>  Omega_R^1 --> R
==>        dx |--> -x+y
==>        dy |--> -y+z
==>        dz |--> x-z
