4 Differential forms Exact Differential Forms: df ( x, y) = f x dx + f y dy with f y x = f x y

5 Differential forms Exact Differential Forms: df ( x, y) = f x dx + f y dy with f y x = f x y Example 1 f( x, y) = x 3 y 5 d f (x, y) = 3 x y 5 d x + 5 x 3 y 4 d y with 15 x y 4 = 15 x y 4 (exact)

6 Differential forms Exact Differential Forms: The integral of an exact differential form d f depends on the integral limits and does not depend on the path of the integral (high school math). The closed integral is zero. a df b df = df + df = df df = 0 b a a b b a b a

7 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: δg ( x, y) = adx + bdy with a y b x

8 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: δg ( x, y) = adx + bdy with a y b x Example δ g ( x, y) = d f( x, y) / y = ( 3 x y 5 d x + 5 x 3 y 4 d y )/ y δ g ( x, y) = 3 x y 4 d x + 5 x 3 y 3 d y with 1 x y 3 15 x y 3 (not exact)

9 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: The integral of a not exact differential form δ g(x, y) depends on the path of the integral. The closed integral is not zero. Y a δg b b a b b = Y C δg ( x, y) = δg + δg1 = δg δg1 a b a a 0 C

10 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: The integral of a not exact differential form δ g(x, y) depends on the path of the integral. The closed integral is not zero.

11 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: The integral of a not exact differential form δ g(x, y) depends on the path of the integral. The closed integral is not zero. First Law of Thermodynamics Heat δ Q(T, p) is a not exact differential, the integral depends on the path (e.g. isothermal), the closed integral is not zero.

12 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: The integral of a not exact differential form δ g(x, y) depends on the path of the integral. The closed integral is not zero. First Law of Thermodynamics Heat δ Q(T, p) is a not exact differential, the integral depends on the path (e.g. isothermal), the closed integral is not zero. First Law of Macro Economics Production δ q(k, L) is a two dim. not exact differential and depends on the specific production process. The closed cycle of production is not zero.

13 Differential forms First Law of Macro Economics b a δq = δq + q = q δ 1 δ δq1 a b b a b a = Y C = q Production leads to income (Y), consumption (C) and surplus ( q). Production δ q is a not exact differential: a) the production function q does not exist in general! or the production function may not be calculated ex ante! b) the integral of δq depends on the path of integration, or the production function q depends on the production process! Ex post, when the production process is known, q may be calculated!

14 Second Law of Macro Economics

15 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: A not exact form δ g may be made exact by an integrating factor y. The exact form is given by d f = y δ g. Example δ g ( x, y) = d f( x, y) / y

16 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: A not exact form δ g may be made exact by an integrating factor y. The exact form is defined by d f = y δ g. Second Law of Thermodynamics The integrating factor of the non exact form of heat δ Q is the mean energy per particle or temperature, T = E / N. The exact form leads to entropy defined by d S = δ Q / T.

17 Differential forms Not Exact Differential Forms: A not exact form δ g may be made exact by an integrating factor y. The exact form is defined by d f = y δ g. Second Law of Thermodynamics The integrating factor of the non exact form of heat δ Q is the mean energy per particle or temperature, T = E / N. The exact form leads to entropy defined by d S = δ Q / T. Second Law of Macro Economics The integrating factor of the non exact form of production δ q is a mean price level or standard of living, T = K / N. The exact form leads to entropy defined by d S = δ q / T.

18 Differential forms Second Law of Macro Economics: ds = δq / T The integrating factor T is the price level of a market or the standard of living of a society (GDP per capita) The differential form d S is exact, or the entropy function S may be calculated ex ante! 3. Entropy is related to the number of possibilities (P) of production, S = ln P

19 Application Production

20 Carnot cycle First and Second Law of Economics: Carnot cycle δ q = TdS = Y T C T = T S 8 mean energy T Y C Entropy S Y T = K + T S C T = K + T 1 S T : standard of living, price level Y T : income, price at const. T C T : costs, consumption at const. T K : capital

21 Carnot : Y T = K + T S Production (Y) is ordering = reduction of entropy ( S = ln P) Production: + + Brain work: d+i+c+n+o+o+p+r+t+u production

22 Carnot : Y T = K + T S Automobile workers: Production Y T is ordering (reducing the entropy) of many parts to build the car exactly according to the plans. Automobile engineers: Production Y T is ordering (reducing the entropy) of many ideas to create a new plan for a car.

23 Production (Y) is ordering of components in the factory Production (Y) ist entropy production in nature Kubic pn-gan LED Laser diode Au (semitransparent) p - GaN:Mg n + - GaN:Si n - GaAs

25 Production costs: Material (K) and labor (T S) C T = K + T S Labor costs (w) w = T S The actual work ( S for building a car) is the same in different countries, but the wages are not. They depend on the mean standard of living T.
