Signals in Natural Domain
Chapter 2 : Simple Operations and properties of Sequences
 
 Scalar multiplication:
Let a be a scalar. We will take a to be real if we consider only the real valued signals, and take $ a$ to be a complex number if we are considering complex valued sequence. Unless otherwise stated we will consider complex valued sequences. Let the resulting sequence be denoted by  {w[n]}
{w[n]}  =  a {x[n]}
is defined by                                                 
w[n] = ax[n]
each term is multiplied by a  
We will use the notation                       
a {w[n]} = {aw[n]}
Note: If we take the set of all sequences and define these two operations as addition and scalar multiplication they satisfy all the properties of a linear vector space.
