文摘This paper extends the classical covariant deriva tive to the generalized covariant derivative on curved sur faces. The basement for the extension is similar to the pre vious paper, i.e., the axiom of the covariant form invariabil ity. Based on the generalized covariant derivative, a covari ant differential transformation group with orthogonal duality is set up. Through such orthogonal duality, tensor analy sis on curved surfaces is simplified intensively.
