For instance, the linear operation may be the average or the Laplace transform.
The aim of a switching mixer is to achieve linear operation over the signal level, and hard switching driven by the local oscillator.
This class is closed under linear operations.
It allows the study of bilinear or multilinear operations via linear operations.
A traditional quantum computer carries out linear operations such as multiplying a matrix by a vector.
Lanczos algorithms are very attractive because the multiplication by is the only large-scale linear operation.
All three types of measures are invariant under linear operations.
This theory was very successful and is still widely used, but suffers from the main drawback that it allows only linear operations.
Sometimes it may be difficult to differentiate between analog and digital circuits as they have elements of both linear and non-linear operation.
A linear operation does not eliminate low-similarity items harshly enough.
