Near-linear algebra
The notion of a near-(left) vector space, which goes back to [\textit{J. André}, Math. Z. 136, 295--313 (1974; Zbl 0271.15001)], is an algebraic structure given by:\N\N(1) A \textit{scalar group}, that is a monoid \((F,\cdot,1)\) endowed with an absorbing element \(0\) and an element \(-1\) such that \((F\setminus\{0\},\cdot,1)\) is a group and \(\{1,-1\}=\{x\in F\mid x\cdot x=1\}\);\N\N(2) An abelian group \(V\) endowed with a left action of this monoid \(F\) satisfying extra assumptions (see Definitions 1.3--1.6).\N\NOne says that \(V\) is a near-vector space over \(F\).\N\NThe authors study the basic algebraic structure of these near-vector spaces, especially the span of subsets. They introduce the notion of basis of a near-vector space, which extends the one of a basis of a vector space. One of their main result (Corollary 3.6) is that every near-vector space admits a basis.
