We investigate the lattice L(V) of subspaces of an m-dimensional vector space V over a finite field GF(q) with q being the n-th power of a prime p. It is well-known that this lattice is modular and that orthogonality is an antitone…
In this note, we find a sharp bound for the minimal number (or in general, indexing set) of subspaces of a fixed (finite) codimension needed to cover any vector space V over any field. If V is a finite set, this is related to the problem of…

Studies on time and memory costs of products in geometric algebra have been limited to cases where multivectors with multiple grades have only non-zero elements. This allows to design efficient algorithms for a generic purpose; however, it…

Covariance is used as an inner product on a formal vector space built on n random variables to define measures of correlation Md across a set of vectors in a d-dimensional space. For d = 1, one has the diameter; for d = 2, one has an area.…
The field of real numbers being extended as a larger commutative field, we investigate the possibility of defining a scalar product for the distributions of finite discrete support. Then we focus on the most simple possible extension (which…
