In mathematics, a linear map (also called a linear mapping, linear transformation or, in some contexts, linear function) is a mapping V → W between two modules (including vector spaces) that preserves (in the sense defined below) the operations of addition and scalar multiplication. (Def: )

Conversion a 2D point value, back to 3D given a known Y value

I am dealing with an image processing problem, and I think I am doing something wrong, mathematically. I have a homogenous point in 3D $P=(x,y,z,1)$, and a corresponding homogenous point on the image ... user avatar havakok

Connection between kernels of linear maps of semimodules and injectivity

Let $S$ be a semiring (i.e. satisfies all the ring axioms besides existence of additive inverses) and $M, N$ semimodules over $S$ (same thing). For a linear map $\varphi : M \rightarrow N$, we can ... user avatar tolUene

Eigenvectors of linear transformations: Reflections vs Rotations

I'm curious why reflections can have real eigenvectors/eigenvalues whereas rotations always have imaginary numbers. The two linear transformations seem similar to me in spirit so this difference is ... user avatar jbuddy_13

Finding the basis of an image of linear transformation

Let $\vec{a}, \vec{b} \in \mathbb{R^3}$. Let $A : \mathbb{R^3} \rightarrow \mathbb{R^3}$ be a linear transformation and $A\vec{x} = \langle \vec{x}, \vec{a} \rangle \vec{b} + 2 \langle \vec{x},\vec{b} ... user avatar m259

Let $f_1, f_2 \in E^*$ such that $\{f_1, f_2\}$ is linearly independent. Is the map $x \mapsto (f_1(x), f_2(x))$ injective or surjective?

Let $E$ be a topological vector space and $E^*$ its topological dual. Let $f_1, f_2 \in E^*$ such that $\{f_1, f_2\}$ is linearly independent. Clearly, $f_1 \neq 0 \neq f_2$. We define $$ F:E \to \... user avatar Analyst

Do we have $(Ax,Ay) = (x,y)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with any inner product when $A$ is an orthogonal matrix?

Let $T: \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be defined by $T(\boldsymbol{x})=A \boldsymbol{x}$, where $A$ is an orthogonal matrix. Is it true that for any inner product we have $(Ax,Ay) = (x,y)$... user avatar Jonas Lionel
