Affine



 
  Affine may refer to:

  • Affine cipher
    Affine cipher

    The Affine cipher is a special case of the more general monoalphabetic substitution cipher. In affine ciphers the encryption function for a letter is where,...
    , a special case of the more general substitution cipher
  • Affine combination
    Affine combination

    In mathematics, an affine combination of vectors x1, ..., x'n is vectorcalled the linear combination of x1, ..., x'n , in which the sum of the coefficients is 1, thus:...
    , a certain kind of constrained linear combination
  • Affine connection
    Affine connection

    In the mathematics of differential geometry, an affine connection is a geometrical object on a smooth manifold which connects nearby tangent spaces, and so permits vector field to be derivative as if they were functions on the manifold with values in a fixed vector space....
    , a connection on the tangent bundle of a differentiable manifold
  • Affine geometry
    Affine geometry

    In mathematics affine geometry is the study of geometric properties which remain unchanged by affine transformations, i.e. non-singular linear transformations and Translation s....
    , a geometry not involving any notions of origin, length or angle
  • Affine differential geometry
    Affine differential geometry

    Affine differential geometry, as its name suggests, is a type of differential geometry. The basic difference between affine and Riemannian geometry is that in the affine case we introduce volume forms over a manifold instead of metrics....
    , a geometry that studies differential invariants under the action of the special affine group
  • Affine group
    Affine group

    In mathematics, the affine group or general affine group of any affine space over a field K is the group of all invertible affine transformations from the space into itself....
    , the group of all invertible affine transformations from any affine space over a field K into itself
  • Affine representation
    Affine representation

    An affine representation of a topological group group G on an affine space A is a continuity group homomorphism from G to the automorphism group of A, the affine group Aff....
    , a continuous group homomorphism whose values are automorphisms of an affine space
  • Affine scheme, the spectrum of prime ideals of a commutative ring
  • Affine (Société), A French Commercial real estate company.
  • Affine space
    Affine space

    In mathematics, an affine space is a geometric structure that generalizes the affine geometry properties of Euclidean space. It can be thought of informally as a vector space where one has forgotten which point is the origin....
    , an abstract structure that generalises the affine-geometric properties of Euclidean space
  • Affine transformation
    Affine transformation

    In geometry, an affine transformation or affine map or an affinity between two vector spaces consists of a linear transformation followed by a translation :...
    , a linear transformation followed by a translation between two vector spaces, or equivalently, a transformation that preserves all affine combinations
