An operator L^~ is said to be linear if, for every pair of functions f and g and scalar t, L^~(f+g)=L^~f+L^~g and L^~(tf)=tL^~f.

The product of any number of perspectivities.

The property of being the only possible solution (perhaps modulo a constant, class of transformation, etc.).

Given the direct sum of additive Abelian groups A direct sum B, A and B are called direct summands. The map i_1:A-->A direct sum B defined by i(a)=a direct sum 0 is called ...

A program initiated by F. Klein in an 1872 lecture to describe geometric structures in terms of their automorphism groups.

A semigroup with a noncommutative product in which no product can ever be expressed more simply in terms of other elements.

Two groups are isomorphic if the correspondence between them is one-to-one and the "multiplication" table is preserved. For example, the point groups C_2 and D_1 are ...

Any finite semigroup is a divisor for an alternating wreath product of finite groups and semigroups.

Krohn-Rhodes theory is a mathematical approach that seeks to decompose finite semigroups in terms of finite aperiodic semigroups and finite groups.

Let H be a subgroup of G. A subset T of elements of G is called a left transversal of H if T contains exactly one element of each left coset of H.
