	Linear - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Important examples of linear operators include the derivative considered as a differential operator, and many constructed from it, such as del and the Laplacian.
		Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations, and systems of linear equations.
		In a slightly different usage to the above, a polynomial of degree 1 is said to be linear, because the graph of a function of that form is a line.

		Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectorss, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations, and systems of linear equations.
		Linear algebra today has been extended to consider n-space, since most of the useful results from 2 and 3-space can be extended to n-dimensional space, but we may also use linear algebra to investigate infinite-dimensional spaces.
		Linear operators take elements from a linear space to another (or to itself), in a manner that is compatible with the addition and scalar multiplication given on the vector space(s).

	Nonlinearity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Examples of linear operators are matrices or linear combinations of powers of partial derivatives e.g.
		A map F(u) is a generalization of a linear operator.
		Equations involving maps include linear equations, and nonlinear equations as well as nonlinear systems (the last is a misnomer stemming from matrix equation 'systems', a nonlinear equation can be a scalar valued or matrix valued equation).

		For instance, the integral yields a linear map from the space of all real-valued integrable functions on some interval to R, while differentiation is a linear transformation from the space of all differentiable functions to the space of all functions.
		In the finite dimensional case and if bases have been chosen, then the composition of linear maps corresponds to the multiplication of matrices, the addition of linear maps corresponds ot the addition of matrices, and the multiplication of linear maps with scalars corresponds to the multiplication of matrices with scalars.
		If V and W are finite dimensional, bases have been chosen and f is represented by the matrix A, then the rank of f is equal to the rank of the matrix A.

		Most of the investigations so far have been concerned with operators and relate principally to a study of operational quantities of operators, partial continuity, compactness, Tauberian theory, perturbation theory, index theory, and stability properties of the essential spectra.
		The results have applications to the theory of closed operators in Banach spaces, and in particular to Fredholm theory and differential operators.

	History of Operator Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the first textbook on operator theory, Théorie des Opérations Linéaires, published in Warsaw 1932, Stefan Banach states that the subject of the book is the study of functions on spaces of infinite dimension, especially those he coyly refers to as spaces of type B, otherwise Banach spaces (definition).
		Since all these subjects predated operator theory as such by a century or two, it is no surprise that some of the earliest antecedents of operator theory are to be found in them.
		For example, infinite-dimensional operators can have continuous spectrum, as became evident (though not in that language) when George Hill presented the theory of periodic Sturm-Liouville equations in order to study the stability of the lunar orbit.

		The measurable quantities are (at the level of spherical and constant radius approximation) linear functionals of the fundamental unknown, the earth's gravity (disturbance) potential.
		With the spherical harmonics as system of eigenfunctions the eigenvalue representation of the linear operators is derived, and consequently the spectral connection among all (measurable) linear gravity functionals.
		The operators connecting the disturbing potential and its radial derivatives and the operators to get the disturbing potential at a different height, have the spherical harmonics as eigenfunctions and are fully determined by their eigenvalues.

		A family of these operators appropriate for measuring the low-order differential structure of image curves is developed.
		These L/L operators are derived by decomposing a linear model into logical components to ensure that certain structural preconditions for the existence of an image curve are upheld.
		By thus reducing the incidence of false-positive responses, these operators are a substantial improvement over (thresholded) linear operators which attempt to resolve the same class of features.

		If a and b are vector spaces then the linear operators from a into b form another vector space.
		Linear functions from a into b are sometimes denoted hom(a,b).

	Theory of Linear Operators in Hilbert Space
		This classic textbook by two mathematicians from the U.S.S.R.’s prestigious Kharkov Mathematics Institute introduces linear operators in Hilbert space, and presents in detail the geometry of Hilbert space and the spectral theory of unitary and self-adjoint operators.
		Concise treatment, written for students and researchers interested in the interaction of function theory and operator theory, focuses on theory of shift operators, Toeplitz operators and Hardy classes of vector- and operator-valued functions.
		Topics include normal operators, analytic functions of operators, shift operators, invariant subspace lattices, compact operators, invariant and hyperinvariant subspaces, von Neumann algebras, transitive operator algebras, and algebras associated with invariant subspaces.

		Functional analysis and operator theory is a deep and useful subject, and is still an active area of research.
		Weakly compact operators, so important in the theory of integral equations are discussed, along with the compact operators, so ubiquitous now in operator theory.
		The finite dimensional case is reviewed first, and the spectral theory of compact operators, a generalization of the Fredholm theory of linear integral equations, is discussed in great detail.
