Denition of a vector space

What is a vector ? A set of objects V = {u, v, w, . . .} endowed with addition + : V V V and scalar multiplication : R V V, where R is the set of real numbers, is said to form a vector space if it satises:

Denition of a vector space

Addition of vectors The sum of two vectors yields a new vector, which has the following properties: u + v = v + u, (u + v) + w = u + (v + w), u + o = u, u + (u) = o, where o denotes the zero vector. (1) (2) (3) (4)

Denition of a vector space

Scalar Multiplication Then the scalar multiplication u produces a new vector with the following properties: ()u = (u), ( + )u = u + u, (u + v) = u + v, where , are arbitrary scalars. Any object V that satises all the above axioms is called a vector. Where in the above denition is the idea of magnitude and direction? (5) (6) (7)

Denition of an inner product space

An inner product is a scalar valued function f : V V R, which satises: u v = v u, u o = 0, u (v + w) = (u v) + (u w), u u > 0, u = 0, and u u = 0, if and only if (8) (9) (10)

u = 0, (11) A vector space that is endowed with an inner product is called an inner product space.

Denition of a normed vector space

A norm is a scalar valued function f : V R, which satises: u 0, u V u = 0 i u = 0 u = || u , u V and R u + v u + v , u V, v V (12) (13) (14) (15)

For example, the quantity |u| = (u u)1/2 satises all the requirements of a norm. Any Innner product space endowed with a norm is called a normed vector space.

Algebra of Second Order Tensors

Denition of Second order tensor


Let Lin(V, V) represent the set of all linear transforms (functions) from the vector space V to V. One can show that Lin(V, V) is a new vector space by appropriately dening addition and scalar multiplication. Objects Lin(V, V) are second order tensors. A second order tensor A may be thought of as a linear operator that acts on a vector u generating a vector v
