  Bilinear operator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a bilinear operator is a generalized "multiplication" which satisfies the distributive law.
The case where X is F, and we have a bilinear form, is particularly useful (see for example scalar product, inner product and quadratic form).
In general, for a vector space V over a field F, a bilinear form on V is the same as a bilinear operator V × V → F.

 Form - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Form (Lat forma), in general, refers to the external shape, appearance, configuration of an object, in contrast to the matter or content of which it is composed; thus a speech may contain excellent arguments (the matter may be good), whereas the style, grammar, arrangement (the form) may be bad.
These forms are not obtained by abstraction from sensible data, nor are they strictly speaking innate: they are obtained by the very action of the mind from the co-ordination of its sensation.
Also there are forms for taxes; filling one in is a duty to have determined how much tax one owes, and/or the form is a request for a refund.

We note that for a real positive-definite bilinear form that every subspace is non-degenerate, so this gives the usual result about inner product spaces.
An inner product space on a vector space is a bilinear form if its field is real, but not if it is complex.

 Differential Equation Theory
Bilinear forms and norms are very intimately related: in a Hilbert space they determine one another.
It is through the mapping of a norm or the bilinear forms in function space to their counterparts in the boundary value space that the theory or operators on Hilbert space becomes involved in the solutions of differential equations.
Bilinear forms are mapped from the solution space to the boundary value space in a rather curious way.

A symmetric bilinear form on a vector space V is a real-valued function F of two variables from V that satisfies all but the positivity condition in the definition of inner product.
For every symmetric bilinear form on a finite-dimensional inner product space there is an orthonormal basis of the inner product space in which the matrix of the symmetric bilinear form is diagonal.
The symmetric bilinear form is itself an inner product if and only if each of the diagonal entries of its matrix, relative to such a basis, is positive.

 Decomposition of Matrix Groups of Large Degree
The classical forms are: symplectic (non-degenerate, alternating bilinear), unitary (non-degenerate sesquilinear) or orthogonal (a symmetric bilinear form and a quadratic form).
The matrix of the form is stored in bilinearForm and the scalars for each generator of G are stored in scalars.
If the absolutely irreducible group G preserves an orthogonal form modulo scalars, and so as one component a symmetric bilinear form modulo scalars, this function returns the scalars corresponding to the generators of the group of the symmetric bilinear form.

It will be no harder to discuss the invariants of symmetric rank two tensors (bilinear mappings V x V -> R, where V is a finite dimensional real vector space) under the action of GL(V), the group of all linear operators on V, and its subgroups, so we'll immediately pass to this level of generality.

Abstract.  A bilinear form $f$ on a nonassociative algebra $A$ is said to be invariant iff $f(ab,c) = f(a,bc)$ for all $a,b,c \in A$.
Finite-dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebras (with their Killing form) and certain associative algebras (with a trace) carry such a structure.
As a Corollary, we prove that every complex Lie algebra carrying a nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form is always a special type of Manin pair in the sense of Drinfel'd but not always isomorphic to a Manin triple.

Thus, 'cmul' by default computes the Clifford product with the form B while 'cmulB' computes the same product with the user-supplied form B1.
When used as the third argument, it does not overwrite B. No infix form for 'cmulB' is available since it is intended to be used with the third argument.
Remember that in that case all three forms B, B1, and B2 must be diagonal.
