Definition: | for two vectors U and V in an n-dimensional Euclidean space, tensor of the second order defined by the bilinear form , where X and Y are any vectors in the same space Note 1 to entry: The bilinear form can be represented by in terms of the coordinates of the vectors. The dyadic product is then the tensor with components . Note 2 to entry: The dyadic product of two vectors is denoted by or .
