Abstract
After recalling the advantages and drawbacks of the vectorial and energy methods used in continuum physics, the need for a general formulation including coupled effects, irreversible processes and interfacial properties is placed in evidence. Such a formulation, recently developed by the author, required the establishment of new mathematical developments particularly at interfaces, generalizing thus the conventional theory of continuum physics well established in the bulk. The present paper deals with some mathematical procedures and complements a previous work where the basic physical principles were developed while the mathematical aspects were simply evoked.
