Forms a normal subgroup of the general linear group.

Members of the orthogonal group.

A matrix that equals its transpose:

Can represent a symmetric bilinear form as shown at matrix representation of a symmetric bilinear form, or a quadratic form.

Linear map of two variables.

More formally, given 3 vector spaces X, Y, Z over a single field, a bilinear map is a function from:that is linear on the first two arguments from X and Y, i.e.:Note that the definition only makes sense if all three vector spaces are over the same field, because linearity can mix up each of them.

The most important example by far is the dot product from ${\mathbb{R}}^n\times {\mathbb{R}}^n\to \mathbb{R}$, which is more specifically also a symmetric bilinear form.

Analogous to a linear form, a bilinear form is a Bilinear map where the image is the underlying field of the vector space, e.g. ${\mathbb{R}}^n\times {\mathbb{R}}^m\to \mathbb{R}$.

Some definitions require both of the input spaces to be the same, e.g. ${\mathbb{R}}^n\times {\mathbb{R}}^n\to \mathbb{R}$, but it doesn't make much different in general.

The most important example of a bilinear form is the dot product. It is only defined if both the input spaces are the same.

See form.

Analogous to a linear form, a multilinear form is a Multilinear map where the image is the underlying field of the vector space, e.g. ${\mathbb{R}}^{n_1}\times {\mathbb{R}}^{n_2}\times {\mathbb{R}}^{n_2}\to \mathbb{R}$.

Subcase of symmetric multilinear map:

Requires the two inputs $x$ and $y$ to be in the same vector space of course.

The most important example is the dot product, which is also a positive definite symmetric bilinear form.

Same value if you swap any input arguments.

Implies antisymmetric multilinear map.

Very good metabolism database.

Some things that they have of interest which may not be on NCBI:

Hits a free login wall after a few IP hits. And just a very normal casually browsing number of hits. What is this bullshit?

Their YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCR9QDQ_9_N4isZV_YRQg9tA has some good tutorials.

The bioinformatics database: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

Here's a good example of what you can get out of it: E. Coli K-12 MG1655

For an example with context, have a look at E. Coli K-12 MG1655 and the second protein of the genome, e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene thrA.

Since DNA is the centerpiece of life, Ciro Santilli is extremely excited about DNA-related technologies, see also: molecular biology technologies.
