[计] 协变的
- This decomposition may give another definition of high order tensor's covariant derivative.
这种分解可以给出高阶张量协变导数的另一种定义。 - Early attempts to merge quantum mechanics with special relativity involved the replacement of the Schrodinger equation with a covariant equation such as the Klein-Gordon equation or the Dirac equation.
早先的努力就是将量子力学与涉及具有协变式方程诸如开尔因-戈登方程或迪拉克方程的薛定谔方程代换的狭义相对论统一起来。
covariant[ adj ]
changing so that interrelations with another variable quantity or set of quantities remain unchanged

Covariant \Co*va"ri*ant\ (k?-v?"r?-ant), n. (Higher Alg.)
A function involving the coefficients and the variables of a
quantic, and such that when the quantic is lineally
transformed the same function of the new variables and
coefficients shall be equal to the old function multiplied by
a factor. An invariant is a like function involving only the
coefficients of the quantic.
