Multilinear map
Redirected from Multilinear
In linear algebra, a multilinear map is a mathematical function of several vector variables that is linear in each variable.
Some examples:
- Inner product (dot product) is a symmetric bilinear function of two vector variables,
- Determinant is a skew-symmetric multilinear function of the columns (or rows) of a square matrix.
General discussion of where this leads is at multilinear algebra.
