Differential equation for a vector : condition to be conservative












0












$begingroup$


Assume there is a vector $mathbf{N}(t)$ of elements $N_i$ and of dimension $n$ and there are matrices $mathbf{B}_i$ of dimension $ntimes n$, and that :



$begin{equation}left{ begin{split}& frac{dN_i(t)}{dt}=mathbf{N}(t)^Tmathbf{B}_imathbf{N}(t) \ & frac{d(sum_{i=0}^n N_i(t))}{dt}=0 end{split} right. end{equation}$



Are there conditions on $mathbf{B}_i$ and $mathbf{N}(t=0)$ so that the conservation condition over $sum_{i=0}^n N_i$ is realized ?



The second equation leads to $mathbf{N}(t)^T(sum_i mathbf{B}_i)mathbf{N}(t)=0$ with an obvious solution : $sum_i mathbf{B}_i=0$.



But can one say more things apart from this obvious solution ?

    Not unit, dimension. A $n times 1$ vector can't multiply on the left of a $n times n$ matrix.

    This still makes no sense. Do you want $frac{dN_i}{dt}=N^T B_i N$?
