  1. What is the difference between linear and affine function?

    Jun 8, 2023 · An affine function is the composition of a linear function with a translation, so while the linear part fixes the origin, the translation can map it somewhere else.

  2. 仿射函数这名字好深奥,但概念其实非常简单,为什么要取这个名 …

    我整理一下我查到的资料: “仿射”这个词,翻译自英语affine,为什么会翻译出这两个字,我没查到。 英语affine,来自于英语affinity。英语词根fin来自于拉丁语finis,表示“边界,末端”,例 …

  3. intuition - What is the affine space and what is it for?

    It may be more fruitful to compare groups of transformations. Speaking of groups acting on a Cartesian space, with the analogous questions in parentheses: orthogonal transformations …

  4. What are differences between affine space and vector space?

    An Affine space abstracts the affine combinations. You can think of an affine combination as a weighted average, or a convex hull (if you limit the coefficients to be between 0 and 1).

  5. Definition of an affine set - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Apr 14, 2017 · 10 Note that the second definition is a generalisation of the first. A set is affine iff it contains all lines through any two points in the set (hence, as a trivial case, a set containing a …

  6. What is an Affine Span? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Sep 11, 2021 · According to this definition of affine spans from wikipedia, "In mathematics, the affine hull or affine span of a set S in Euclidean space Rn is the smallest affine set …

  7. What *is* affine space? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jul 6, 2015 · An affine space is a slightly restricted version of this where you only allow operations where $\sum r_i = 1$ ("affine linear combinations"). In particular you can't multiply by zero, so …

  8. affine geometry - What does it mean to be "affinely independent", …

    May 2, 2017 · Roughly speaking, affine independence is like linear independence but without the restriction that the subset of lower dimension the points lie in contains the origin. So three …

  9. convex analysis - Are affineness and convexity equivalent ...

    In reading about convex optimization, the author states that all convex sets are affine. Are affineness and convexity equivalent? If I understand, both definitions incorporate the notion …

  10. Definition of an affine subspace - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    According to this definition the subset $\ { (0,0); (0,1)\}$ is an affine subspace, while this is not so according to the usual definition of an affine subspace.
