editWhoever put this in:
"In other words, if we hold the first entry the bilinear operator fixed, while letting the second entry vary, the result is a linear operator, and similarly if we hold the second entry fixed."
thankyou!
How about another example for a matrix as a bi-linear form: defined by ,
map vs operator
editI think the term "operator" should be reserved for maps of a space into itself (or by extension ExE→E), while for the general case (in particular bilin.forms) the term "map" should be preferred. — MFH: Talk 17:46, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
- Agree. At any rate, we should keep our naming consistent; witness multilinear map vs. bilinear operator. -- Fropuff 18:03, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
- Seems reasonable. I was wondering about the same topic some time ago. This should be put at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Conventions.MathMartin 11:03, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- I've partially fixed this, but haven't gone so far as to move the page: I would, however, support such a move. Geometry guy 16:35, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree. Someone with operator privs should perform the move. --MarSch 17:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
How is this article related to pairing? It seems there is an overlap. Nageh (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- I think the question should be: Shouldn't this article be extended to cover [[module (mathematics}|module]]s? Meaning, we get R-bilinear maps, which should probably be covered in this article, and then pairing (which is evidently just an R-bilinear map) should be a redirect here. K-bilinear maps (K being a field, so this is what is currently covered by this article) are merely special cases of R-bilinear maps, which is the subject of Pairing. — Quondum 16:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
Inverse of bilinear map
editFor the case, VxV->F, I guess the inverse of the bilinear map should be well defined because the map is commutative, if , then and . Is this right? and is it meaningful? is it well defined? Jackzhp (talk) 05:54, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- The appropriate place to ask this would be at WP:RD/MA. —Quondum 13:02, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

It would be much easier to understand this article if there were diagrams that showed the process. The information provided is merely textual and gives the reader a difficult time understanding the underlying principles. Senomo Drines (talk) 15:04, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
