Ex. 3: Can a closed transformation have a matrix with (a) a row entirely of zeros?

B) a column of zeros ?

Ex. 4: Form the matrix of the transformation that has n' = 2n and the integers as

operands, making clear the distribution of the +’s. Do they he on a straight

line? Draw the graph of y = 2x; have the lines any resemblance?

Ex. 5: Take a pack of playing cards, shuffle them, and deal out sixteen cards face

upwards in a four-by-four square. Into a four-by-four matrix write + if the

Card in the corresponding place is black and o if it is red. Try some examples

And identify the type of each, as in Ex. 2.

Ex. 6: When there are two operands and the transformation is closed, how many

Different matrices are there?

Ex. 7: (Continued). How many are single-valued ?

The generation and properties of such a series must now be con-

Sidered.

Suppose the second transformation of S.2/3 (call it Alpha) has

Been used to turn an English message into code. Suppose the

Coded message to be again so encoded by Alpha— what effect will

This have ? The effect can be traced letter by letter. Thus at the first

Coding A became B, which, at the second coding, becomes C; so

Over the double procedure A has become C, or in the usual nota-

tion A → C. Similarly B → D; and so on to Y → A and Z → B.

Thus the double application of Alpha causes changes that are

Exactly the same as those produced by a single application of the

Transformation

A B … Y Z

C D … A B

Thus, from each closed transformation we can obtain another

Closed transformation whose effect, if applied once, is identical

With the first one’s effect if applied twice. The second is said to be

The “square” of the first, and to be one of its “powers” (S.2/14). If

The first one was represented by T, the second will be represented

By T2; which is to be regarded for the moment as simply a clear

And convenient label for the new transformation.

Ex. 1: If A:

 a b c ↓ c c a' what is A2?

Ex. 2: Write down some identity transformation; what is its square?

Ex. 3: (See Ex. 2/4/3.) What is A2?

Ex. 4: What transformation is obtained when the transformation n' = n+ 1 is

Applied twice to the positive integers? Write the answer in abbreviated

form, as n' = . . . . (Hint: try writing the transformation out in full as in

S.2/4.)

Ex. 5: What transformation is obtained when the transformation n' = 7n is applied

Twice to the positive integers?

Power. The basic properties of the closed single-valued

Transformation have now been examined in so far as its single

Action is concerned, but such a transformation may be applied

More than once, generating a series of changes analogous to the

Series of changes that a dynamic system goes through when active.

What is K2? Give the result in matrix form. (Hint: try re-writing K in some

Other form and then convert back.)

Ex. 7: Try to apply the transformation W twice:

                            W: ↓ f g hg h k

The trial in the previous exercise will make clear the impor-

Tance of closure. An unclosed transformation such as W cannot be

Applied twice; for although it changes h to k, its effect on k is

Undefined, so it can go no farther. The unclosed transformation is

Thus like a machine that takes one step and then jams.

Elimination. When a transformation is given in abbreviated

arm, such as n' = n + 1, the result of its double application must be

Found, if only the methods described so far are used, by re-writing

He transformation to show every operand, performing the double

Application, and then re-abbreviating. There is, however, a

Quicker method. To demonstrate and explain it, let us write out In

full he transformation T: n' = n + 1, on the positive integers, show-

Ing he results of its double application and, underneath, the gen-

Eral symbol for what lies above:

                T: ↓ 1 2 3 … n …

                      2 3 4 … n' …T: ↓ 3 4 5 … n" …

n" is used as a natural symbol for the transform of n', just as n' is

The transform of n.

Now we are given that n' = n + 1. As we apply the same trans-

formation again it follows that n" must be I more than n". Thus

n" = n' + 1.

To specify the single transformation T 2 we want an equation

that will show directly what the transform n" is in terms of the
