Summary

It is shown that the existence of the characteristic directions follows from a relationship derived in [1], contrary to the conclusion of the authors. Some other proofs of the existence of the characteristic directions are also given. It is pointed out that in many cases characteristic directions deviate considerably from principal directions.

Übersicht

Es wird gezeigt, daß die Existenz der charakteristischen Richtungen aus einer Beziehung folgt, die in [1] abgeleitet wurde, im Gegensatz zur Schlußfolgerung der Verfasser. Einige andere Beweise der Existenz der charakteristischen Richtungen werden auch gegeben. Es wird gezeigt, daß in vielen Fällen die charakteristischen Richtungen von den Hauptachsen wesentlich abweichen.
