Using "the" before name equations/theory like "the Maxwell's Equation", "the Archimedes Principle", etc

Is it correct to use "the" before named equations like "The Maxwell's Equation", "The Archimedes Principle", "The Kolmogorov Equation", etc? Even though "the" refers to the equation/principle, it precedes a name so I am not sure whether usage of "the" is allowed in such context.

Solution 1:

"The" is required when the name is not possessive: "the Kolmogrov Equation", "the Peter Principle", etc.

However, omit "the" when the name is possessive: "Maxwell's Equations", "Archimedes' Principle", "Ohm's Law", etc.

Some can be expressed either way, although one or the other is generally preferred.
