Affine transformation and coordinates of maps

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on affine transformations in the vector space of affine maps, specifically the function φ1,1: ℝ → ℝ defined as x → x + 1. Participants seek to determine the contravariant and covariant coordinates of this map with respect to the basis set ℬ = {2x, 1}. Clarification on the definitions of co- and contravariant coordinates is suggested to facilitate better assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of affine transformations and their mathematical representation.
  • Familiarity with vector spaces and basis sets in linear algebra.
  • Knowledge of contravariant and covariant coordinates in the context of transformations.
  • Basic proficiency in mathematical notation and functions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the definitions and properties of contravariant and covariant coordinates.
  • Study the concept of affine maps and their applications in linear algebra.
  • Explore examples of coordinate transformations in vector spaces.
  • Learn about the implications of different basis sets on affine transformations.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of linear algebra, and anyone interested in understanding affine transformations and their coordinate systems.

Hi everyone!

I'm having trouble with the following exercise:

Let ##\mathrm {Aff}(ℝ)## be the vector space of the affine maps from ##ℝ## to ##ℝ##:
$$φ_{a,b}:ℝ→ℝ$$ $$x→a x + b$$

Find the contravariant and and covariant coordinate of the map:
$$φ_{1,1}:ℝ→ℝ$$ $$x→x + 1$$ with respect to the bases ##\mathcal{B}:= \left\lbrace 2x,1 \right\rbrace ##

Thank you for your help!

Hi,
Maybe if you define for us the co- and contra- variant cordinates, we may be better able to help you; we may know (of) them by different names.
