In this paper the gradients of the principal invariants of an arbitrary second-order tensor are derived in a very concise way.
The particular cases of (2.2) needed here can be easily worked out directly; one needs only the derivatives of the trace, the square, and the cube of a tensor.
We prove that, after multiplication with a suitable monomial, every homogeneous bracket polynomial of rank r > 3 can be factored into a meet and join expression in the Cayley algebra. The main tool in our construction is an explicit algorithm for rewriting polynomial functions in terms of synthetic
