  1. linear operator

    A linear operator is a type of mathematical function which preserves the operations of addition and scalar multiplication used in vector spaces. It is defined by the properties that for any vectors x, y and any scalar c: (1) the operator of the sum of x and y equals the sum of the operator of x and the operator of y, and (2) the operator of the scalar product of c and x equals the product of c and the operator of x. These two properties embody the concepts of 'linearity'. Linear operators are fundamental in many areas of mathematics including algebra, calculus and differential equations.
