  2. Vector (mathematics and physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and...

    Vector addition and scalar multiplication: a vector v (blue) is added to another vector w (red, upper illustration). Below, w is stretched by a factor of 2, yielding the sum v + 2w . In mathematics and physics , a vector space (also called a linear space) is a set whose elements, often called vectors , can be added together and multiplied ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectorial_addition_chain

    An addition sequence for the set of integer S ={n 0, ..., n r-1} is an addition chain v that contains every element of S. For example, an addition sequence computing {47,117,343,499}

  4. Vector addition system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_addition_system

    A vector addition system (VAS) is one of several mathematical modeling languages for the description of distributed systems.Vector addition systems were introduced by Richard M. Karp and Raymond E. Miller in 1969, [1] and generalized to vector addition systems with states (VASS) by John E. Hopcroft and Jean-Jacques Pansiot in 1979. [2]

  6. Vector algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_algebra

    In mathematics, vector algebra may mean: The operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication of a vector space; The algebraic operations in vector calculus (vector analysis) – including the dot and cross products of 3-dimensional Euclidean space; Algebra over a field – a vector space equipped with a bilinear product

  7. Matrix addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_addition

    In mathematics, matrix addition is the operation of adding two matrices by adding the corresponding entries together. For a vector , v → {\displaystyle {\vec {v}}\!} , adding two matrices would have the geometric effect of applying each matrix transformation separately onto v → {\displaystyle {\vec {v}}\!} , then adding the transformed vectors.

  8. Binary operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_operation

    Typical examples of binary operations are the addition (+) and multiplication of numbers and matrices as well as composition of functions on a single set. For instance, For instance, On the set of real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } , f ( a , b ) = a + b {\displaystyle f(a,b)=a+b} is a binary operation since the sum of two real numbers ...

  9. Vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_field

    In vector calculus and physics, a vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a space, most commonly Euclidean space. [1] A vector field on a plane can be visualized as a collection of arrows with given magnitudes and directions, each attached to a point on the plane.
