Hadamard jump condition

ID: hadamard-jump-condition

Suppose an affine deformation on each side of a plane with unit normal is continuous across it. Tangential derivatives agree, so for every . Decomposition of an arbitrary vector into its tangent component and then gives , proving the rank-one form. Conversely that form makes the two affine maps agree on the plane when their constants agree there.
Orientation preservation on both sides also requires : the matrix determinant lemma gives . This inequality is additional geometric information supplied by the determinant signs, not by continuity alone.
