Adjoint of a linear map

Summary

The adjoint of a linear map between finite-dimensional inner product spaces is a linear map in the opposite direction. It moves the map from one side of the inner product to the other.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
