	Mobius Transformations of the Night Sky
		This is certainly a proper orthochronous Lorentz transformation, because the determinant is +1 and the coefficient of t is positive.
		We've seen that the general finite transformation of the incoming null rays can be expressed naturally in the form of a finite Mobius transformation of the complex plane (under sterographic projection). This is a very simple algebraic operation, given by the function
		The parameters A and B are the coefficients of the linear transformation that maps real line to the locus of points with real part equal to 1/2. Notice that the pth composition of f satisfies the relation

	Mathematics 271, Fall Semester 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Inversion is a transformation of the extended plane (a point at infinity is introduced to serve as the inverse of the center of a circle).
		Linear fractional transformations of the complex plane are given by a formula f(z) = (az + b)/(cz+d), where (a b) and (c d) are the rows of a nonsingular matrix.
		An isometry of the upper half plane consists of either (1) a linear fractional transformation of positive determinant, or (2) the complex conjugation of a linear fractional transformation of negative determinant.

	PlanetMath: Möbius transformation
		It can be shown that the inverse, and composition of two Möbius transformations are similarly defined, and so the Möbius transformations form a group under composition.
		The geometric interpretation of the Möbius group is that it is the group of automorphisms of the Riemann sphere.
		This is version 16 of Möbius transformation, born on 2002-02-19, modified 2006-11-01.

	Linear Fractional Transformations
		One dimensional linear fractional transformationos (lft's) are generalisations of linear maps of the form:
		One useful property of linear fractional transformations is that they can be represented as matrices, and their composition computed using matrix multiplication.
		One advantage with using the linear fractional transformation representation, especially over representations such as the ones using an infinite stream of digits, is that many of the elegant continued fractions for mathematical constants and functions can be used almost directly.

	Linear Fractional Transformations
		The only strength gained by allowing h to be an LFT instead of a linear function is in the "singular" cases when the coefficients of the linear coupling function L are not well defined, such as when c, C, (a+d), or (A+D) are equal to 0.
		The values of l that give periodic LFT iterations are the roots of a special set of polynomials whose coefficients are members of a generalized set of binomial coefficients.
		The fact that the variance of the linear fractional iterates falling in the range from -1 to +1 does indeed converge on 4/p – 1 demonstrates that the values of nq modulo p are (in the agregate) uniformly distributed over the interval 0 to p for most values of q.

	A Question of Time: The Lorentz Transformation
		The fractional increase in time due to the movement of the earth is then given by the ratio (T’’+ T’)/2T which is easily seen to be [c/(c-v) + c/(c+v)]/2.
		The right side is then simply 1/ [1 — v²/c²], which is the fractional increase, on the average, for each leg of the journey - no square root is involved - this is the square of gamma.
		The reader may recognize beta-squared as the fraction by which the total time must be shortened, and half of the shortening should pertain to each leg of the round trip — not the square root.

	An Introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo
		Due to the lack of general methods for transforming prior information into assignments of prior probabilities, there is greater agreement among statisticians about models than about priors.
		The (approximate) linear functional relation between the input (object) and the output (data) is fixed by the physics of the particular situation, but the basic idea common to most methods is very simple (see []).
		It is interesting to note that, by decomposing the group of isometries into one parameter subgroups, the familiar statistical transformations of changing location and scale are automatically generated.

		This is a subject better postponed until differential equations, second order linear differential equations, and Ricatti equations have all been introduced.
		A somewhat similar discussion could be based on equation (88) where both n=1 and n=-1 give zero Schwartz derivatives, but it suffices to say that these two exceptions are already fractional linear transformations.

		To improve the analysis and control synthesis approach of linear fractional transformation (LFT) parameter-dependent systems, two types of non-quadratic Lyapunov function and switching control scheme are introduced and studied in this thesis.
		A gain-scheduled controller with parameter variation rate, a nonlinear gain-scheduled controller and an online switching linear parameter varying (LPV) controller are derived, and the advantages of proposed LPV control techniques are demonstrated through numerical and physical examples.
		In the first part of this thesis, we introduce a quadratic LFT parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, which includes affine parameter-dependent functions as special cases.
