Linear Operator
Let X and Y be vector spaces containing vectors x and y respectively. Then an operator (or mapping or transformation) S of X into Y exists if we assign a unique y for each x in X; we denote y by S(x). S is a linear operator if, for any x and v in X and any scalar c, we have, S(x + v) = S(x) + S(v) and S(cx) = cS(x).
