Two general representation theorems for arbitrary-order-tensor-valued isotropic and anisotropic tensor functions of vectors and second order tensors. (English) Zbl 0879.15032

It is shown that irreducible representations for \(r\)th order-tensor-valued isotropic on anisotropic tensor functions depending on an arbitrary number of vectors and second order tensors as variable may be formed by the union of irreducible representations for certain \(r\)th order-tensor-valued isotropic or anisotropic tensor functions merely depending on not more than three variables (for \(r\geq1\)) or four variables (for \(r=0\)) and hence that the representation problem for the former may be reduced to that for the latter.
The paper contains the sections: Criteria for functional bases and generating sets, Representation theorem for tensor-valued functions, and A representation theorem for scalar-valued functions.
