Mental Models of the Concept of Vector Space
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a pilot study on students' images of the concept of vector space. Three students have been asked to model a real world situation with the mathematical tool of a vector space in interviews and have revealed two very different priorities of looking at a vector space. The part of the interviews this paper deals with is concerned with the students' general notions of the character of a vector space. This is considered both in respect to contents and in respect to the students' handling of abstraction. The difference in the students' conceptions is discussed in connection with different modes of thinking.

Duality for vector equilibrium problems with constraints
In the paper, we study duality for vector equilibrium problems using a concept of generalized convexity in dealing with the quasi-relative interior. Then, their applications to optimality conditions for quasi-relative efficient solutions are obtained. Our results are extensions of several existing ones in the literature when the ordering cones in both the objective space and the constr...
متن کاملCharacterizations and properties of bounded $L$-fuzzy sets
In 1997, Fang proposed the concept of boundedness of $L$-fuzzy setsin $L$-topological vector spaces. Since then, this concept has beenwidely accepted and adopted in the literature. In this paper,several characterizations of bounded $L$-fuzzy sets in$L$-topological vector spaces are obtained and some properties ofbounded $L$-fuzzy sets are investigated.

متن کاملMental Timeline in Persian Speakers’ Co-speech Gestures based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory
One of the introduced conceptual metaphors is the metaphor of "time as space". Time as an abstract concept is conceptualized by a concrete concept like space. This conceptualization of time is also reflected in co-speech gestures. In this research, we try to find out what dimension and direction the mental timeline has in co-speech gestures and under the influence of which one of the metaphoric...
متن کاملLOCAL BASES WITH STRATIFIED STRUCTURE IN $I$-TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES
In this paper, the concept of {sl local base with stratifiedstructure} in $I$-topological vector spaces is introduced. Weprove that every $I$-topological vector space has a balanced localbase with stratified structure. Furthermore, a newcharacterization of $I$-topological vector spaces by means of thelocal base with stratified structure is given.
