Linear transformation

Definition: A function L: V-> W is called a linear transformation if it preserve following structures:

1) L(x + y)= L(x) + L(y) 2) L(cx)= c.L(x) 3) L(0 of V) = 0 of W

Proposition:

1) property 2 leads to property 3 2) L: V -> W is a linear transformation iff c , x, y V: L(cx + y)= cL(x) + L(y) Proof: 1) take c= 0 in F and x=0 in V. Then L(cx)=cL(x) -> L(0 of F . 0 of V)=(0 of F).L(0 of V)=0 of W 2) L(cx + y)= L(cx) + L(y)= c.L(x) + L(y)
