differential_geometry.dependence.DenseDependenceObject.element_wise_gradient#
- DenseDependenceObject.element_wise_gradient(*, basis: Literal['covariant', 'contravariant'] = 'covariant', as_field: bool = False)#
Compute the component-wise gradient of the field.
- Parameters:
basis (
{"covariant", "contravariant"}, optional) – Whether to compute the gradient in the covariant or contravariant basis.as_field (
bool, optional) – If True, return the raw symbolic expression. If False (default), wrap the result in a dependence object.
- Returns:
Symbolic gradient expression or a new dependence object.
- Return type:
