Edit detail for LinearOperator revision 11 of 63

Linear transformations (operators) over n-dimensional cartesian vector spaces oveer a commutative ring . Members of this domain are morphisms . Products, co-products and composition (grafting) of morphisms is implemented. Operators are represented internally as tensors.

Operator composition and products can be visualized by directed graphs (read from top to bottom) such as:

      n = 3     inputs

      \  |  /         \  /   /         \              |
       \ | /           \/   /           \            / \
        \|/             \  /           / \          /   \
        / \              \/           /   \         \   /
       /   \              \          /   / \         \ /
      /     \              \        /   /   \         |

      m = 2     outputs

Lines (edges) in the graph represent vectors, nodes represent operators. Horizontal juxtaposition represents product. Vertical juxtaposition represents composition.

Construction operators: input and output

L:=LIN(2,FRAC POLY INT)

   LinearOperator is an unknown constructor and so is unavailable. Did 
      you mean to use -> but type something different instead?

  Rep == Record(Dom:VectorSpace, Cod:VectorSpace, t:T)

But VectorSpace? is a category which would make Dom and Cod domains. The domains that currently satisfy VectorSpace? in Axiom are rather limited and seem oddly focused on number theory (finite fields). It is a good thing however that DirectProduct? is a conditional member of this cateogry.

DirectProduct(2,FRAC INT) has VectorSpace(FRAC INT)

   There are no library operations named VectorSpace

Unfortunately:

DirectProduct(2,DirectProduct(2,FRAC INT)) has VectorSpace(FRAC INT)

   There are no library operations named VectorSpace 
      Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                            )what op VectorSpace
      to learn if there is any operation containing " VectorSpace " in 
      its name.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named 
      VectorSpace with argument type(s) 
                                    Type

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type, 
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.

The problem with VectorSpace? is that the domain [Vector]? is not a member of this category instead it satisfies VectoryCategory?.

Is it possible to treat tensors from CartesianTensor? as maps from VectorSpace? to VectorSpace?? We would like for example:

  T:DirectProduct(dim,DirectProduct(dim,FRAC INT)) -> DirectProduct(dim,FRAC INT))

To be a linear operator with two inputs and one output.

FreeModule(Fraction Integer,OrderedVariableList [e1,e1]) has VectorSpace(Fraction Integer)

   There are no library operations named VectorSpace 
      Use HyperDoc Browse or issue
                            )what op VectorSpace
      to learn if there is any operation containing " VectorSpace " in 
      its name.
